  • The 600,000 Mile Lexus is Back from The Body Shop. Things Are Not Well...

    The 600,000 Mile Lexus is back from the body shop and things didn't go very well. We'd had to make alot of alterations to our initial plans and while assembling the car back we've run into a lot of issues

    Some of the issues are new, Some of them because the car sat for a while. But I see the light at the end of the tunnel and I am staying positive!
