The plural of Lexus is Lexi

Last weekend, I was down in ol' Orange County test-driving the new Lexus LS 460. It was a prototype model--there are only, like, eight in the world. Anyway, it was quite fun.

Funny thing, though. The longer I live in Utah, the less those cars appeal to me. I guess it's a case of shifting priorities--in California, where the weather is never inclement, it's nice to think about fast cars and such, because, hey, you don't need four-wheel-drive. In Utah, however, I'd love nothing more than a pickup truck with knobby tires and about fifteen bags of something heavy in the back. No way that'd skid in the snow! (Well, maybe, but you know what I mean.) Not a big pickup truck, mind you, because I'm of the opinion that people who take a perfectly good pickup truck and then jack it up on massive wheels and shocks are trying to make up for something in their lives; I'm guessing something about their body they feel inadequate about. No, just a good, solid pickup that gets decent ratings on Edmunds.com. I guess Nissan's pickup is pretty good, but it's also pretty big, and that veers dangerously close to my aforementioned point.
