Faith restored

[gdh300]

Forgive a bit of a self-indulgent post, Lexus friends. But...

This evening, I managed to get out of work just after five and it was still light and the sky clear. So, sunroof open, beanie on, temperature to 26°C and fans to auto! My normal 40 minute commute turned into a meandering nearly two-hour trip home, some A-road blasts, some lazing through villages. Great to hear the Blackbirds and the Robins in the trees, and the sweet sound of the 2JZ-GE through the railway bridges. By the time I got home, my shoes must have been hot enough to melt the glue, but it felt brilliant. Quite an unexpected pleasure on what had been just another working Wednesday; certainly more than my morning commute in unrelenting darkness! Faith restored in my old Lexus after a big bill for new front calipers, carriers and disc skimming. I've been pondering something newer after that hurt, but really, what is worth me financing £200 to £300 per month? It would need to be quite some car. 

Have any others here had a similar revelation?
