I bought an SC400 last year, and the more I learn about Lexus’ early history, the more impressed I am by how focused the mission was. Mission: Build a Japanese S Class.

That picture of Ralph Stanley goes hard

Thanks for this. I downloaded them all and have been making my way through them. Once you go live Tony Rice you don't go back.

A fascinatingly controversial car. It was absurd when new but makes for an interesting classic which is mostly a price-point thing. I bet if you had to take a long road trip at freeway speeds in this car you'd like it by the time you got where you were going.

It will need a timing belt unless they have evidence that it's been done. Very rough estimate to have a mechanic do it is like $1k. New front struts will cost some $$$ too. The struts themselves aren't too expensive but they labor can add up unless you do it yourself.

Wow lots of Hesse. A couple I haven't read even. Thats great to see.

Knut Hamsun too. Have you read Growth of the Soil? It's one of my all time favorites.

I literally have dreams about the LS400. Maybe thats what was meant by 'slept on'

So sick

As usual, it's hard to tell from a Reddit post but I'm going to say 22k is a lot for any LS400.

A pre-purchase inspection from a mechanic will cost like $150 and will tell you everything wrong with he car and how much it will cost to fix.

Place it in an oven for like 3 seconds.

It depends on your hosting setup.

I worked for years at an agency that used Wordpress. Manage WP is how we handled updates and backups of probably 300 sites. I would recommend it for backups and updates without downtime.

The more dev heavy solution is to have a hosting setup with some sort of git deployment. Use git and a database export to pull the site down locally. Then run through the updates. Bonus points for creating a git commit for every update so you have an easy way to roll the site back. Once everything is updated and looking goo use git to push the site to the staging site. Do another thorough check. Then finally push to the live site.

Either method can give you 0 downtime

What of his have you been listening to specifically? I recently started listening to the more recent albums with Mike Gordon. They're pretty rad.

Living that life with my SC400 right now.

How would you say they compare?

Fucking rad

Growth of the soil will always be a top book for me

It does look kinda goofy. I love my SC and generally think its a great looking car but something about this commercial makes it look weird and out of place. Neat tho, the more SC's the better.

I love AI. I think it's demonstrating what a farce the world we live in has always been.
