Real Wheels Live - Washington Post
Sometimes I am amused at the cars that I drive and the order I get them in. Last week I drove a Cadillac Escalade that priced out at $89,000. This week I am driving a Lexus LS 460 that prices out at $86,000. Both vehicles got about 19 mpg. Not that the vehicles aren't worth the money, they're completely tricked out with the best leather and the most infotainment and technology that money can buy at that price. I have a Lexus LS400 sitting in my garage. The LS460 is the natural extension of evolution of the 1993 LS that costs $55,000 new in 1993. It was one of the first cars I remember that had heated seats. Maybe it was because my friend Sam has an older Toyota 4Runner and Miriam has a Lexus SUV. We all went to Bodega Bay, CA for the long weekend and took our bikes with us. . Sam and Miriam each drove their own SUVs and had bike rack on the back. My husband, Stretch, put his bike in the Escalade and it was so big that one barely noticed it was there. The only thing I didn't like was on the nav system when I would put my finger close to the system a bunch of circles would come up and I didn't know how to get out of it. Stretch put it back to normal and I'm sure if I had the SUV long enough I... I would use the Lexus as my everday car still, but I really loved having that Escalade too.
