Taste of Lexus Oct 7 & 8, Fed Ex Field - DC Metro

Mwuahahhahah

"...the 2007 Lexus LS460 is the first LS sedan ever that allows its stability-control system to completely turned off. Once the big lady lets her guard down, the 4.6-liter V8 producing 380 hp and 367 ft-lbs. is totally and utterly at the mercy of your right foot, which makes burn outs and drifting possible for the first time in a Lexus LS sedan."

KL2DC · 08-29-2006, 03:58 PM

Sam, yep I have that issue (one of the best in recent months, chockful of awesome articles). I am looking forward to driving the LS460 the most....

18LLC · 08-29-2006, 04:05 PM

thanks for the kind words....

Our mutual support and camraderie goes beyond regional borders....

I guess we can count on you to share the beans on the SF Lexus event since its happening prior ours.

hey I just got a friend of mine who drives an Audi A6 to sign up too, same day, same time!

bavarian19 · 08-29-2006, 08:16 PM

I have driven the LS 430 (my dad's) and its nice. I would like to see how well the new version drives... I did not push my dad's car, but its always more fun in SEC...

Im surprised there is no IS/330 comparo at this driving event. I have never driven the new IS... I ruled it out when looking at cars because I think its hideous... I dont buy cars for looks, but there are parts of the design that really bug me...

Oh Dani, you know us better than that

.... I meant

as in cool, Dani's coming out, its a rare treat for us DC e90post guys. We love having you around...

KL2DC · 08-29-2006, 09:51 PM

AJ,

The new LS would be a marked departure from the outgoing LS. I do love the current model, its so serene, like a big cloudmobile, that's my best take on it.

They had the IS/330 comparo the last time, drove both quite hard, it was actually my first drive in an e90 and needless to say I was quite sold at the end of the day. Thank you Lexus

I would just love to drive someone else's 330i around a track... I wouldnt mind trying out the IS350, but there is no way I will trade my E90 for it...

My dad's LS is a great highway driver. We do a lot of traveling as a family, so its a great car for those long road trips. Loads of space, plenty of cushioning on the interior, and loads of options. I tried to get him to look at the 750, but theres a huge price difference etween the LS and 750 similarly equipped...

KL2DC · 10-02-2006, 07:34 PM

Just a friendly reminder...

Taste of Lexus this Sunday at 09:00

By now, you should've received both the confirmation mailer cards and the confirmation number/reminder by email. Don't forget to have those handy. Looking forward to our mini-meet this weekend

. Also looking forward to some quality Lexus thrashing time

FrankoQ · 10-03-2006, 08:13 AM

Why don't you make it a family outing...

As mentioned, there's food/drinks, lounge areas, side attractions etc, plus the nature of the event makes it more appropriate as a family venue. They can even accomodate child seats on some of the rides....

Perfect!
Great idea.

BK · 10-03-2006, 09:09 AM

As of today, I still plan on going. Are we meeting anywhere for breakfast?

BTW, I got the confirmation e-mails yesterday (I got THREE of them, since it looks like they didn't cancel my original Saturday slot I signed up for

) but have not gotten any card in the snail mail. Did I miss it?

KL2DC · 10-03-2006, 09:28 AM

Brian: no worries if you haven't received the mailer card. As long as you have the confirmation, you're fine

Hmmm breakfast is a good idea, normally, but I am just thinking of all the free food we'll get at the event. Not sure if its necessary. On the other hand, lunch might be a better idea. I think some folks wanted a post-event meet/get-together of sorts.

Frank: Awesome news...!!!

I am thinking 1 or 2 of us will have to go ahead of the others to "reserve" parking space so we can all park together, "meet" style

sixspeedsam · 10-03-2006, 10:12 AM

I didn't get a flyer in the mail, but I got my e-mail confirmation. I vote for post event libations

Sounds like a plan, any feasible and logistically convenient options?
