The fat cat will stay longer than the car. He was my wife's grandma's cat that we got when she died.
Monkey boy is pretty good. I never black out my plates either. This car says MEADE35, from
Meade Lexus . Yes, Gator is right - loaner car. They were going to give me another IS, but I asked for the ES just to find out what all the hype is about. The ES is supposed to be the most luxurious in the entry lux sedan market. After some time with it, I think it is pretty nice for the intended market. I don't care for the exterior styling (but I like the LS430), but the inside is pretty nice. I don't like gray leather interiors because it never looks rich to me. Stick to black or tan. I love the electrolumenesent gages and wish my car had them. Dual zone climate control would be nice since my wife is always cold. But when it comes to driving impressions, it's a let down compared to my other cars.
FWIW, I don't plan on buying another light colored car. Sorry, they never look as good as a clean dark colored one. Zaino really is that good. I wish I would have gotten the blue for my IS, though.
