What is too much power for a daily driver?

I agree with the poster that said power is like money...can never have enough. I purchased a Lexus GS350 in Dec. 2006 and thought it had plenty of power (306hp). After 6 years of commuting, got bored and picked up a 2012 M3 (414hp) last year. It is alot of fun for a daily driver and although...

CC or M35 or E350 or gs350

A couple years ago, was shopping between the M35 and GS350. Both had pros and cons, but I also felt the M35 was a bit rough and loud. Ended up with the GS350, very smooth and quiet. Better gas mileage too with the 6 speed versus 5 in the M35. Didn't consider anything German at the time for...

Does anyone here have a Lexus RX350? or buy a CPO from Lexus?

The new engine with the 07 is nice. I wish it was around when I purchased a 05 rx330 for my wife. Our rx330 does have TPMS though. The warranty is great for piece of mind but we haven't had any major issues 4 years later and 64K miles now. I did get the 100K mile extended warranty but...

2009 Black Lexus ES350

I really liked the ES350 but avoided it since I'm in my 30's for the same "old man label". I figured I could get it when I'm in my 40's or 50's...then again maybe I'll step up to the LS by then. I ended up getting a GS350 instead. Most Lexus vehicles are driven by an older...

Expensive Car Purschase

I sorta do, but because things didn't turn out as planned. I still have my car from college (98 civic with 199K miles now) as a spare commuter so my wife and I had planned to keep our new cars for 8-10 years at least. Purchased an '05 Lexus RX330 new, roughly 42K. Now 2 kids later and finding...

For those of you that have had Lasik....

Do alot of research...do a search of websites in your area and start reading. Then do multiple consults/visits to various laser centers to get a feel for the doctors/facilities/different lasers. In the end, there are many decent doctors and it depends on which laser machine you want to go...

Looking for Bright, blueheadlight for my car

It was mainly your comments that fueled the replies. You probably would've gotten better responses otherwise. As far as the bulbs, years back I've tried all brands/types. PIAAs were nice, Silverstar were okay, but they all burn out quickly (1month - 12months). Gets pretty expensive...
