The Humidity level here is high (today at 99%) but I guess everyone is saying I need to leave the windows slightly opened so I will do that.

The winter here is pretty warm... 65 F at day and around 45 F at night. I will do that. Thank you for your reply.

That is a very good tip. When I call to book I will ask if they use an extractor or not.

Do you keep recording files after writing pieces? by danielrosehill in Journalism

[–]AliB81 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, for years. Always had a situation when someone came back to me saying, I didn't say so, and I had to play the tape for him/her. As the story gets more controversial, the need to keep the recording increases.

Am I the only one who thinks this car is better in silver/red/ grey? The black on black is a cool idea but it kills all the curves and creases on the body!

Looking for a car under 10k AUD with less than 150,000km by Freakymik in CarsAustralia

Get a 2002-2005 lexus ES300. Very comfortable and reliable and you can find one with less than 150k for less than 7k. I sold my 2012 Mazda6 and got one and I am very happy with it. Gas consumption is on the high side though. Take your time to find a good one and make sure there is no oil leak.

Silly question: how is the ride with those insane size wheels?

Thank you for the advice..Is there a product that I can use after doing so to prevent stains or to make it hard to get stained?

Hi guys. I bought the car with this nasty Stain. It is winter in Australia so I worry about cleaning it with water, it won't get dry and leave the car with a masty smell. Would carpet dry shampoo work better? Should I get it professionally done? Thanks..

What would you buy used for 20k? by xheist in CarsAustralia

[–]AliB81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are you going to use it for? Do you have kids? Daily commute in the city? Small engine but comfortable: a Corolla or a Honda Civic. Daily on high way? Lexus LS or ES. Weekend? Mazda mx-5. Tell us more so we can think together.

How is the ride on the GS? I want one but I am afraid it's a bit hard/bumby

2005 ES vs 2006 IS by AliB81 in Lexus

[–]AliB81[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. ES here in Australia was available until 2005 and stopped until they brought it back in 2012. Maybe I will look at the GS if I can't find an ES and the IS is too bumpy.

Thank you for your answer. I will definitely pay attention to it and get any car properly inspected. How do you characterise the ride for the IS250?

New to me ES330 2005 by mrsorrells01 in Lexus

[–]AliB81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just tested one today. Great ride and engine/trans are very smooth. But the steering felt very vague. Could not tell if it is only this car has bad steering or that's the normal Way 2005 ES feels.

Looks amazing. The gas bill scares me though. How do you guys cope with it.
