  • Driving to upstate New York for a change of scenery in the Lexus GX460. I threw out my back and am currently in recovery so the seats in this luxury beast are perfect.

    As a current gx460 and v8 tundra owner, nothing puts a baby/child to sleep like the wonderful low rumble of a Toyota/lexus v8 cruising. I’ve driven thousands and thousands of miles with the radio off just listening to these engineering masterpieces hum, it’s so pleasant and stress relieving. It’s so sad these are no longer rolling off the production line. We need to convince Toyota/Lexus to make a special model gx550, tundra or Land Cruiser with an undersquare version of the is500 v8.

    Beautiful scenery man! Love it. Reminds me somewhat of the English countryside.
    On a side note, that GX is a Biggg-A$$ V8 monster-SUV... no wonder it's capable and comfortable!! Driving one of those anywhere in Europe would be akin to riding a growing oil liability...not to mention finding a parking spot would prove next to impossible 💀
    Ultimately I love the final bit on the (Italian?) resto-moto-bar - cool place! and the music!!! What music is that???

    Your rant about drivers and using their lights = We can totally be friends, my brother. Im mid 30s and I feel 28 but my body is like "BRUH. I'm 50, chill!" lol.
    Im considering getting a Passport Elite/Touring/Black Edition and then doing the JonDZ treatment to make it semi-rugged: 2" lift, axle relocator kit, 31.5" M/T tires (Florida, it rains and gets muddy a lot) .... Or getting a new 2025 Land Cruiser for about 60k or a slightly used 2023 GX460 for about 50k +/- 10k.
    Tough choices. I love the comfort and space of the Passport, and the 27ish hwy MPG and non-premium fuel.... but I love the new Land Cruiser with the square lights. But that i-force = 93 all day, sucks....

    I wish you a speedy recovery with your back injury. Also, about the M5: If you see yourself keeping that car for a long time, you should just bite the bullet and get her back to tip top shape. Easier said than done when it's not my money, but that's what I'd do if I had an E39 M5 as nice as your's is.

    It's kind of a shame the auto headlights on a lot of cars don't come on in the rain. Ironically, I have a Lexus - an IS 500 - and it does not usually turn the auto headlights on in the rain. I've got to do it myself, like the good ole days. lol

      I’m all for efficiency because who wants to spend money on gasoline 😂. The trade off seems to be complexity which is frustrating and increases chances of unreliability. Progress is absolutely necessary in this department but it also feels like the middle class average joe has to be the one to pay the bill for the expensive technology and repairs. So yes very conflicting but I don’t have anger or animosity toward cleaner vehicles.
