Re: Psssst - Hey mister - wanna buy a Lexus?

Thank you for your kind words Homer. The biggest problem with the MB
turned out to be its reliability. So I decided to try the Lexus as I
had minimal difficulties with the two ES class cars. Now ... hmmmm ...
enginering for show instead of go ... high costs of operation and Oh
Those El Cheapo Oil jobs every couple of weeks ...

As to my new "friend" 01dyna, well I must point out that I started
this thread quoting some well known source regarding costs. And of
course I had to add in just a little bit of personal experience - sort
of like flavoring for the gravy. Then the question of tyres (or tires)
rose up more directly, so I made factual comment on the tire
performance question and raised a question as to why a luxury car
manufactor would put tires on that I consider inferior in performance,
life of tread, and noise generation. I have to tone down my colorfull
posting style quite a bit in here due to the extremely defensive
reactions such as that from 01dyna. Even so, I see no good reasons
advanced for using Dunlop tires - well - in my truly outstanding and
incomparable humility I suspect the explanation is that advanced by
Sir John Smythe - the board sitting around deciding how to displease
me.

So 01dyna - any comments about the tire questions or questions of cost
of owner****p? Colorfull argumentum ad hominem welcome, of course, and
expected from you.
