Yep. It's cool. It took $15 to fill it up.lol 375 mile range.
Yes new rims and Michelin tires.
Audi went down the road to a 18 year old. He stole it from me but I hated it. It's gone :-)

My wife said she won't drive with me if I keep going in battery mode with no engine. They made a special speed limit sign for me. It's 20mph.lol

My wife drives Japanese, I drive German.
BbP drives both in a month. Now I know why they charge me $200 for an oil change.

Yea as you knew my old Pontiac vibe was a Toyota. So going back to that is pretty easy. I just wanted something diff. I should have listened to my gut. The seats did not work out fit the wife. She wouldn't even drive the audi. The new little Lexus is nice. Kind of like the vibe/ prius but with a fancy dress.
It looks cool as Heck to me. So we are back on track now. The daughter is going to need a new set of wheels soon.

Can’t go wrong with a Toyota/ Lexus in my opinion. Rarely have a problem and maintenance is reasonable.

Yes my son works at the Lexus dealership here too. So that helps. I had him check the info before I bought it. I even got all of the maint records on it.

Lexus/Toyota make a quality vehicle. My RX is approaching 200K and it's been awesome.

I find that if you do not inflate them in the house they fit through doorways better. :D

Nah B. That's only if he ever plans on actually going to the lake! As we all know BB just garage boats. Now he's trying to figure out how to get his boat in nose first so he can driveway tube.

And for the haters, just think of the gas BB saves!

In our 15 years of boating, we’ve never really boated at night. I saw no need to order underwater lights.
Our kids were young then.....duh... I’m not the brightest bulb either🤪
Well, it seems we are out at night almost every time now. I guess a nice boat changes things.🤣.

So, I just ordered a Y-NOT RGB boat plug light.
Before drilling holes into my new transom, I thought I would try the safe and easy way first and see how well it works out. Should be here next week.
Thanks for the info YT.
