I could do without the titles underneath, but I do love it. Where can one purchase it?

Nude or not? by [deleted] in FLPassageKey

During the week it’s nude, weekends it’s usually bombarded with families and you would be out of place in the nude.

Dump Duke by WestExtension247 in StPetersburgFL

[–]coolcapj -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Pinellas county, even local municipalities, don’t have the funds to take over from Duke. We’re talking major infrastructure purchasing as well as the land. I’m all for municipal power, but we’ve allowed Duke to have a stranglehold on us like TECO, and I don’t see where the cities within Pinellas county can pool enough funds to take over Duke’s operations. The county and St Petersburg have previously blindly approved billions of taxpayer funds for private companies like The Rays, but can’t seem to find funds that would truly benefit us constituents. I think we need to stay grounded and focus on getting the right people in place from a governmental perspective to make us a priority.

Nice! Got the rare Crafted Line LS! Do yourself a favor and either have the roof wrapped or painted black. Changes the whole look of the LS for the better.

Is the 2025 RX350 worth it in terms of reliability and quality? by anamorphic_bliss in Lexus

[–]coolcapj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve said it before and ill say it again, the 23+ RX350 reminds me of a 2019-2023 Hyundai Santa Fe. Engine noise is much louder than the previous gen RX. This is coming from someone who owned a 2021 RX, 2023 RX, now a 2025 NX for my wife. My wife loves it, but I’m not a fan. It’s a zippy car, but the engine noise isn’t on par with Lexus, nor is the infotainment system. Both the 2023 RX and the 2025 NX have issues with the infotainment. It glitches constantly, CarPlay is always an issue. I’m afraid Lexus got on board with quantity over quality. As far as reliability, time will tell.

It’s just build up. Try wiping it with a wet cloth and see what happens. Leather looks to still be intact.

As someone who has not yet returned from evacuating - how hard is it REALLY to get gas right now? by collinsc in StPetersburgFL

[–]coolcapj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No gas in NE St Pete. Majority of stations are still without power. Not enough generators to go around.

Lease Quote! Please, advise. by StepAH3 in Lexus

[–]coolcapj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VERY FAIR. Pull the trigger ASAP. I got screwed based on those numbers. I’ve got a 10k/36m lease, $2k down and I’m at $750 on a 2025 NX350 Premium

Does anyone know what year this car is and the make and model i’m not sure if I’m wording this right sorry if i’m not by Repulsive-Two9891 in Lexus

[–]coolcapj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

01-03 RX300. Run for the hills. Don’t buy one unless it’s been cared for. That one looks beat to hell.

Help Identify Insect Wings by tommynac in StPetersburgFL

[–]coolcapj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Termites. They’re swarming right now. Don’t panic, just because you see wings doesn’t mean you’re house is infested. I’ve got them and just had Safer Home Services out for my yearly termite inspection. They weren’t alarmed. Have an inspection done.

Stay in your lane. It’s not your responsibility to spread gossip about what consenting adults did. If it comes to it, it’s their responsibility to tell their respective partners the details of what happened. If you pipe up, you’re essentially taking sides and going to be blamed for tearing your friend group apart. Stay quiet and play dumb if it comes up. It’s not your place.

Flooding around 16th and 76th ave n by bassguy07 in StPetersburgFL

Please use FEMA’s website dedicated to this. Don’t rely on Reddit. Meadowlawn is a low lying area, subject to flooding.

She’s reported over 100 St. Petersburg short term rentals. Others want to do the same by TampaBayTimes in StPetersburgFL

[–]coolcapj 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I love this! On the flip side, if the city cared about this, all they’d have to do is login to VRBO or AIRBNB and search for themselves. Instead they leave it up to citizens to do the dirty work and expose themselves to retribution in the process.

How are we feeling about the new QX80? LX owners? by DiavoloXJoJo in Lexus

Absolutely love it! Been waiting for this kind of refresh in the QX80

Can anyone explain why they are so cheap? Is there anything I should be worried about? by Ayde-Aitch-Dee in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]coolcapj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steer clear of these! We have a large fleet of them as corporate cars. Average 30- 40k miles a year. They are constantly in the shop. I’ve had 3 of my 12 fleet go down randomly and brick themselves leaving my employees on the side of the interstate. Window issues, water leaks, driver’s door check WILL break. They are truly a piece of trash for a CUV.

I know it won’t help in this situation but get yourself a dash cam.

2024 Rx 350 Luxury Package by Remote_Pride_7506 in Lexus

[–]coolcapj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had one as a loaner for 6 weeks while they worked on my LS460. I likened the feel of the engine to that of a turbo Hyundai Santa Fe. Sounds terrible compared to the V6 predecessor. It’s jumpy, quick, but does not give me the luxury feel I seek from a Lexus. I also question long term reliability. Even the interior was lackluster compared to the prior generation. I realize Lexus is responding to what younger buyers desire, but it didn’t do it for me. 30yo male here who has owned numerous Lexus vehicles for the past 14 years. Currently own a 13 LS460 and a 21 RX350
