In addition, my wife and I still can work from home most of time. We really don't need another car. If we really need another car that happens very rarely, we still can borrow my son's new Accord...

Actually my current situation is... One car is much better than two cars, as, if there is only one car, I only have to change oil for our car 1-2 times a year, change brake fluid once per 3 years, change coolant once per 4-5 years, etc.

If we buy another car, then the situation would become... I have to change oil for our cars 2-3 times a year, change brake fluid TWICE per 3 years, change coolant TWICE per 4-5 years, etc. Wow! That's A LOT more work for me!!! (I'm getting old...)

PS: Today, I just changed oil, cabin filter and do tire rotation for my GSF... (Believe it or not... 19in wheel + 275/35R19 tire from my GSF is surprisingly lighter than 18in wheel + 245/45R19 from my daughter's M35X!!!)
Believe it or not...

My GSF ran like crap after an oil change!!! Today, my GSF was outside. The outside temperature was about 10C. Then, I started my GSF... Guess what... My GSF's engine became a little shaky immediately after started. Then, I tried to put the gear into D(drive) ASAP and drove it immediately... Then, everything became normal...

I think my GSF loves OLD oil, not NEW oil!!! (the new oil is TOO GOOD!!!) I think conventional oil could be better in my GSF. Synthetic oil could be TOO GOOD which could let my GSF's engine running TOO COLD!!! (I think I better downgrade my GSF's oil especially in winter!!!)

Today, I checked oil temp in my GSF after 25 minute drive which includes climbing a big hill on a highway!!! Guess what... The oil temp barely reached 170F!!! I think my current oil Royal Purple HPS(high performance street) is too good(smooth) for my GSF... (not to mention worse MPG and higher oil costs!!!)

PS: Believe it or not... When I changed the oil in my son's G35S from Royal Purple HPS to Mobil1. The engine sound from G35S got a little louder but the overall MPG was also increased by 1!!! In addition, even with better oil Royal Purple HPS, after 60 minute cruise on highway(no spirited driving), the engine oil temp of G35S could reach 240F in a very hot summer day!!! (So, I believe G35S definitely needs some GOOD OIL!!!)
Royal Purple HPS oil is not cheap which is about 80% more expensive than Mobil1 but still cheaper than Redline oil...

In addition, the OEM oil for GSF is Toyota conventional oil, not synthetic oil...
So, these Lexus F cars need someone to drive them HARD... The harder the better... I think that's why there are a lot more carbon buildup inside my GSF's tailpipes than G35S and M35X's!!!

Now, I think these Lexus F cars may not suitable for me, as I still drive my GSF TOO SLOWLY!!! (I already did my best to drive my GSF fast!!! )

PS: Actually driving GSF hard needs A LOT more gas, not to mention much more dangerous!!!
Actually I already drive my GSF quite fast now... (Maybe a little TOO FAST!!!)

Believe it or not... Recently, I found some strange drivers tried to BLOCK my GSF as they thought my GSF was TOO FAST for them!!! They intentionally used their turning signals, changed lane and tried to slow me down when I tried to pass their cars!!!

PS: Actually, this summer I encountered a very aggressive semi-truck driver on I-5 highway(LA to San Francisco). An Audi tried to race with me. Of course, that Audi was much slower than my GSF. (So, I was playing that Audi!!!) Guess what... When I was doing about 130mph, a semi-truck suddenly changed to my lane with much slower speed!!! So, I had to do an emergency braking!!! At that time, I FINALLY realized how good my GSF brake was and how stable my Ohlins suspension was!!!
For the incoming 2025, my wife and I decide to drive my GSF for some long trips!!!

We plan to visit Grand Canyon which is 750miles away from home. We will also visit Zion national park. The total traveling distance should be at least 1600miles!!!

I will buy the highest AAA membership level. In case, my GSF is down on the road. At that time, my GSF would already be 8 year old...

PS: When my wife and I were young and in a collage in 1995, we drove our used 1988 MX-6 from New York to Missouri to see our relative. That's about a 900mile one way or 1800mile total trip but we only spent only ONE DAY for one way!!! Surprisingly, that MX-6 never missed a beat in that trip!!! (Everything was so smooth!!!)

Believe it or not... We didn't make it only once, we actually made it TWICE!!! One time was in winter. The other time was in summer!!!

Of course, my current GSF is SO MUCH BETTER than that MX-6!!!



Actually the trip to Grand Canyon is only an appetizer!!!

Our ultimate goal would be driving my GSF cross America, Canada and Alaska!!!

On highway...
G35S = 26 mpg
M35X = 22 mpg
GSF = 24 mpg <<<< worse than G35S but still better than M35X (Actually there is ECO mode in GSF but I NEVER used it. Now, I think it's time to try it!!!)

LFR(LFA2), here I come!!!

HP: 900
Price : 190K USD
Debut : Late 2025

PS: The price becomes a bit more expensive now! But, this will be my best shot in my life. So, let's do it!!!)

I have a feeling... After Lexus produces a 900hp supercar, 1000hp could become a supercar's norm!!!

PS: So, my current GSF could become just an ordinary family car in the nearing future...
