Hi B,

Did you visit Hofbr?uhaus beer house in Vegas? I stayed at Venetian hotel.

BTW, I almost got a speeding ticket. While navigating through traffics near Victorille / Barstow, a white CHP without roof top lights was hiding on the right lane amoung trucks and cars. I saw the CHP in time and slow down to 75mph before passing him. He jumped on my tail righ away, so I pulled to the right lane and slowed down to 65mph. After 30 seconds on my tail, he let me loose. I got real lucky. I haven't got any traffic ticket in 8 years! I guess it was easier to drive at lawful speed on my Mercedes before.

Can you send me the URL of that Canadian auto insurance company again?

I?ll tell you this. The power delivery of the 545iA in comparison to my 04 LS430 Sport is much better. At high speeds the LS430?s engine and transmission networking is lagging. Last summer I drove my LS430 to Cali (Sylmar), and took a trip to Las Vegas- at high speeds this is were I discovered the engine and transmission networking to be lagging and not Lexus smooth. I hope to take my 545iA to LA this summer.

Sigh! It is very hard to keep a legal speed limit with the 545.
