Comments on: An open letter to the Lexus drivers of the world http://larsvargas.com/2005/12/20/las-vegas-drivers-are-crazy-and-need-to-learn-courtesy/ I live in Las Vegas. This is my life.

I can see where your frustration comes from though, because you are right about people who own expensive cars think that they rule the road. But please there are some Lexus drivers, like me, who are actually nice and know how to drive.

Wayne's funny in a sad way. I'm glad you (and presumably most intelligent people who read my post) understood its intent. It's not really abut the car being driven, so much as the person driving the car. Vegas drivers seem to be very aggressive, rude and unpredictable. I've driven in Manhattan and would rather drive in heavy Manhattan or even Los Angeles traffic than heavy Vegas traffic. Lexuses or not. :) Thanks, Phil.

Lexus makes terrific cars. My title was a bit pointed, but as noted later in the post, it was aimed at all rude drivers, not just Lexus owners. Actually, Wayne has another point besides the one on top of his head. The expensive cars around Vegas tend to be more polite. I've never had a Maybach try to climb up my tailpipe. Young women (like Wayne) in smaller cars tend to be the craziest drivers around town. A 24-year-old in a 2001 Honda Civic is terrifying. On the other hand, my original post still rings true. Keith Jones,

Just like you. You're a funny little man. I'm sure you take the paychecks your six (or is it seven?) figure salary gets you and jerk off into them before depositing them in the bank. You know, two deposits. HEH! And you drive there in you 650i VERY politely. I know I would do just that if I wasn't such a crap car driving trailer-dwelling loser. Fortunately, I'm a crap car driving trailer-dwelling (as far as you know) loser with a really good driving record and lots and lots of insurance by a major company. If I hit you because of your stupidity, rest assured, it's not MY bank account that will be drained. I guess all that money in your bank account is somehow distorting your perception of reality. I can understand, really. If I was so obsessed about one thing that I had to keep reminding the world about my involvement with it, I woudl likely lose perspective. Therapy might hep you with that. And one last thing, there's a lot more to being "rich" than simply being an arrogant prick with a high income. I am richer than you will ever be. In a million years.

Now, let me diagnose this argument. If YOU had a lexus or a bmw (or have enough money to own one yourself), would YOU be talking like a little girl who is having her first period (like a bitch really)? The human psychology is an interesting one, jealousy is the number one factor that drives us to make the MONEY and own NICE things wouldn't you agree? BUT, the world will not allow ANYONE to make that kind of money. So for those who DOESN"T have it, hates and complains about to those who HAS it because they are just little men/women trying to be one of those rich groups but can't or never made it. You are one of them, fyi i own a '06 BMW 650i, my mother in law owns a "lexus" GS 460, my father owns a MB G55 AMG. We are nice people, and we don't cut people off just because we own cars that you cannot afford in a million years, surely doesn't make you the right to complain about it and discriminating "rich" folks purely out of jealousy in internet forums such as this one. Although you've wrote an interesting article here however you fail; due to high level of ill mannered stereotypical "middle" class attitude. Seriously, you don't want to get messy with the "rich" folks, they are higher above the social rank and have the potential to make your small bank account even smaller if conflict arise on the road.

They share little with the Toyotas except for reliability. My yuppie colleagues have had many problems/stradings with their newer Teutonic money pits. My 1999 SC 300 is mint at 130K, with only maintenance without any major repairs. It's comparable in performance with any 3 liter 6 cylider BMW, and many older stock V8 pony cars such 4.6 & 5.0 Mustangs. Only time she stranded me was due to a dead battery when parked for 2 weeks. AAA has made some profit on me. In my area of Coastal CA most Lexi are carefully driven slowly by seniors, as I tend to do. Except out in the desert and LA. Sorry for the knuckle heads in your town. Ours tend do that in raised full size 3/4 ton trucks. Please go test drive a SC or LS with an open mind and heavy foot...You know your cars well, I hate to see that some fools poisoned your opinion of a great marque.
