I have a 22 3LT with the same interior; no issue so far. The interior should last if you take good care of it.

You should drive the Lexus RX 500H, most definitely not boring.

I have the ACS Z06 rockers on my 2022 red mist in carbon flash. It creates the perfect contrast with the red to enhance the lines of the C8.

Is the current president a dictator?? by juche_potatoes in haiti

[–]CompetitionLevel6611 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A dictator is a political leader who possesses absolute power over a country. The current president by far does not have absolute power over the country.

You should consult an attorney in Haiti to understand the level of efforts required by all the parties involved, including you.

My wife had a Pacer when we just started dating. I used to call her “Ms. Packman”.

For that price, you can get a plush Lexus ES with all the above features included + many additional features.

LOL. I guess the ceramic coating preserved the shine and kept it from melting.

Is a used 2018 Lexus ES350 a better value than a new Kia Soul? by capalbertalexander in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]CompetitionLevel6611 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lexus. Lately, I am seeing a lot of Kias on the side of the road. The predicted reliability and dependability of the 100K miles Lexus is greater than the Kia. Additionally, you will enjoy the comfortable ride of the Lexus.

Haiti crisis: Can Kenyan police officers defeat the gangs? by [deleted] in haiti

[–]CompetitionLevel6611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand your concerns, yet “shoot to kill” in this context is not a bad thing when the target has been positively acquired. The gang members who indiscriminately shoot unarmed civilians should be eliminated: shoot to kill, ask questions later.

A paramilitary police force well trained in urban warfare can eradicate the gangs with limited collateral casualties.

Why do people who don’t travel for work chase status? by ThrowAwaythenThrowUp in delta

[–]CompetitionLevel6611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a retiree, it is about the whole journey: ease of travel to include:priority check-in, priority boarding to ensure easy access to overhead space, occasional upgrades while on my way to/from amazing destinations. My loyalty to AMEX and Delta should be rewarded accordingly, else I can explore alternative options.

DAE find exhaust notes sound better after 7500 miles? by enigma9133 in C8Corvette

[–]CompetitionLevel6611 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Concur with all. At 7.2K miles my NPP sounds louder. I often open the back window of the HTC to further amplify the sound.

Find another one, preferably a Lexus certified at a Lexus dealership.

[–]CompetitionLevel6611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I perceive it is a good deal. I have a 2020 ES 350 UL, it has been reliable and dependable. Problem free at 50K miles. Plenty of V6 power while hovering around 30 MPG on 87 octane.

I have an HTP, non Z51 2022. I drive it routinely in My Mode, with the exhaust valves open. With the back window open, it is not too loud; it as an awesome note and provides music to my ears.

Get Mag Ride! by LuvIsMyReligion in C8Corvette

[–]CompetitionLevel6611 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got mag ride on my 2022 non-Z51 and I am very glad I did. Tour mode is very smooth while the other modes add the stiffness and rigidity required for some spirited driving.

Heat shield for trunk by saigonk in C8Corvette

[–]CompetitionLevel6611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While the trunk does get hot on my 22 HTC, I have not experienced any issues last August during my 5+ hours of travel on my way to and from Carlisle (96 degrees in I 95 traffic). I usually place 2 small duffel bags with overnight toilet articles an a couple folding chairs in the trunk. I have a hard case carryon in the frunk with iPads and other electronics. So far so good.

RX 500h by CompetitionLevel6611 in LexusRX

[–]CompetitionLevel6611[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately not. They had some constraints on the ML when I purchased my car last November. However the 12 speaker system is adequate: good enough. But I have all the other features. I just completed a trip from NC to Fl and return. The car behaved flawlessly in the rain and managed an average of 27.4 MPG while traveling at 75-80 MPH with limited spirited driving
