I'm averse to buying any car where I'd have to pay to change the exhaust just to not be embarrassed (aesthetically) to drive it off the lot...

I'm hopeful...because I think the car has promise. I just gag every time I see those tips... They bother me ALMOST as much as the optional exhaust on the 911 with the fake outlets...

It's not that I don't specifically not drive it, I just don't enjoy driving the smurf to commute to work... 1 minute drive to highway.... 10 minutes on highway.... 1 minute off highway.... and no...there are no fun backroads to get to work (especially since it's rush hour).

Saturdays, the car might come out, but I'm sticking my bike rack on there since usually Saturdays are bike day

I'm impressed with how quickly you come up with excuses...

I'm excited to hear that June will be the only inventory shortage we'll see here since Lexus will be back at almost full production here in the next few weeks.

I'm thinking about ordering this bag:


Left panel: Super Bright white
Center panel: Green Haze bluegreen
Right panel: Super Bright white

There are so many options for the customized bags from timbuk2 Have any of you played with the customize a bag section from timbuk2? I want to see your creations!

I still have my timbuk2 Groupon and it expires at the end of June. Hopefully by June I can afford to buy a laptop to put in the bag!
