I do apologize Esteban. The fact that my name is Steve makes my error all that more unusual.

I always giggle a little bit when some smart ass (me in this case) finds it necessary to post a grammar, spelling, or punctuation correction to someone else's post and then makes a grammar, spelling, or punctuation error in their very own correction. Now, I'm guilty myself! I promise to try to do better.

No worries, sygazelle. It was more about trying to find a funny comeback to your #2 pencil post.

PS - my name is Steve as well.

Also future Python Graham Chapman between them. This was from a pre-Python sketch comedy show called "At Last The 1948 Show."

The other famous Python sketch which comes to mind as being recycled from there is the Book Shop sketch. In that one, Cleese reprises his role as the proprietor, but it was Marty Feldman as the customer in the original.

Don’t know if they still are but the ES used to be an upscale Camry, not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Pretty much. I think that's a selling point for the typical ES buyer. I mean mine is a 2022 and it still has a CD player. People on the Lexus forums complain about things like the panoramic sunroof option because it MIGHT break down at some point. They are good with the same tiny sunroof they have probably been using since 1982.

Honestly though I do like it more and more. Especially recently that I've been doing a lot of long drives. Even the looks are growing on me.

I like a CD player. Sounds like a comfy car.

****8 Track player is even more comfy as long as you have a warm set of feathers on the hood of your Trans-Am!
