    Nothing makes my Sunday complete quite like driving a car that I'll never be able to afford on a Primedia salary. Lexus has come a long way with the LS and it's definitely big-pimping now. Everything from the V-8 engine to the eight-speed automatic tranny was silky smooth. Throw a body kit, fat brakes and some rims on it and your VIP status will skyrocket. I guess you could spend big bucks on a crazy audio system but it'd be a damn shame to tear up the interior on this big sedan.

    I can't even begin to describe the feeling behind the wheel of the LS, and that's because the guys wouldn't let me take it home for fear that Mini Nads would spit up on the creamy leather. The shotgun seat felt as plush as can be, but the LS just didn't have the wow factor of some of the ber executive shuttles from the Fatherland.

    It might look like I'm driving my dad's car, and maybe you'll find it somewhat impossible to imagine that I would throw away my tax return as a down for a fresh-ass LS 460-but so what? Bone stock, it needs nothing else to drop panties, but with the right set of dish wheels and body kit, the LS 460 will make all heads turn. I plan on owning one in the next five years.

    If you can't tell from the article, I dug this car like I was looking for buried treasure. My only lament is that with my pay scale, purchasing an LS 460 is about as feasible as Nadsy refuting his Middle Eastern origins. Or his love for hummus. So until then, I've resorted to looking for used '01-up LS 430s. Clarification: cheap used LS 430s.
