The Ultimate in Refinement Meets the Ultimate in Capability with the New Lexus LX

In 1995, during the production run of the 80-Series Land Cruiser; Toyota had introduced a highly luxurious version of the 80-Series under their Lexus brand called the Lexus LX as a result of threatening US trade sanctions on Japanese luxury cars.

The Lexus LX, wherever sold; has always carried a huge price premium over a comparably equipped Land Cruiser, and has always been equipped more extravagantly than a fully loaded Land Cruiser.

The Lexus LX, however; has never received a so-called Lexus treatment of having a quiet interior and a smooth ride as one would expect any Lexus model to have.

Before the introduction of the Lexus brand worldwide, the Lexus LS had been sold as the Toyota Land Cruiser Cygnus in Japan, as an ultra-luxurious trim level of the Land Cruiser in the Japanese Domestic Market.

2016 Toyota Land Cruiser 001

Toyota Motor Sales USA’s press release on the sale of the facelifted 200-Series Land Cruiser.

Like Jeeps and Land Rovers, the Toyota Land Cruiser has a proud tradition of mixing and matching parts from other vehicles. In the case of the Land Cruiser-other Toyota products.

The Toyota F engine used in Land Cruisers, a combination of the Toyota Type B engine and the Chevrolet Stovebolt engine; had also powered Toyota Medium-Duty trucks and buses throughout the 1950’s and 1960’s. The GR V6 engine, and the UZ and UR V8 engines also, have all been used in other Toyota products.

Each generation of the Toyota Land Cruiser has been put through testing by Toyota similar to each Jeep model being required to ford through the Rubicon Trail with ease, and Land Rover’s stringent off-road standards at their test track on the property of their ancestral home in Solihull, England.

Saihei Iritani (who was born in 1915) and Kenrou Sekino (who was born in 1923) were the Chief Engineers for the FJ40, Hiroshi Ohsawa (who was born in 1926) had served a short time as the Chief Engineer for the 60-Series until he had been reassigned to work on the development on the NH60 4Runner/HiLux Surf and was then replaced by Iichi Shingu (who was born in 1934) for further development of the 60-Series project; Masaomi Yoshii (who was born in 1938) was an engineer for the 70-Series, Takeo Kondo; who was an engineer that had worked on the BJ and the FJ55V, was the Chief Engineer for the original 70-Series Prado (which is on the same platform as the HiLux and the 4Runner/HiLux Surf); Masaaki Ito is the Chief Engineer for the 100-Series Land Cruiser/Lexus LX, Osamu Shinoda was the Chief Engineer for the 70-Series; and Kunihiro Hoshi is the Chief Engineer for the 120-Series Prado (sold in the North American market as the upscale Lexus GX midsize SUV).

A Nightmare Regarding A Movie Theater

I have had a nightmare where the children of both of my mother’s brothers, both of Moe & Carletta’s daughters, both of Darlene’s sons; and also, all 3 of Colin & Sheila’s sons are all dropped off by Chris, Darlene, Carletta; and my mother’s eldest brother’s wife to go see a movie at the Star movie theater located on John R Road in Madison Heights, Michigan. A bunch of friends of the children of my mothers’ brothers and my mother’s eldest brother’s niece & nephew also joined them in seeing this movie as well. Chris, Darlene, Carletta; and my mother’s eldest brother’s wife them go shopping at the Mervyn’s department store location in the strip mall located just several hundred yards away from the movie theater.

And instead of being the future of NASCAR past the era of drivers such as Ricky Rudd, Bill Elliott, and Rusty Wallace; and instead of being purveyors of change in NASCAR and in the modernization of NASCAR, Kasey Kahne, Denny Hamlin, Kevin Harvick, Elliott Sadler, Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth, Jimmie Johnson; and Casey Mears each went to this movie theater with a bunch of their friends; and an employee of the movie theater had said to them that their muscles are ugly, that they should be fat and overweight instead of being fit and muscular; and that never a day in their life should they ever have been involved in sports.

NFL player Tom Brady also happened to show up at this movie theater, going to see a movie with a bunch of friends; and the employee of the movie theater told him that all sports are icky and yucky, that he too should have never been involved in sports a day in his life, that his muscles are ugly; and that he too should be fat and overweight instead of being fit and muscular. This also means that he should have never been involved in icky, yucky Basketball and icky, yucky Baseball.

And NHL players Shane Doan, Tyson Nash, Derek Morris; and Darren McCarty also happened to show up at this movie theater with a bunch of friends, Shane Doan happened to be wearing an ugly, hideous suit, it would be preferred if none of these athletes ever dressed up; the employee of the movie theater told them that all sports are icky and yucky, that they too should have never been involved in sports a day in their life, that their muscles are ugly; and that they too should be fat and overweight instead of being fit and muscular. Then the employee of the movie theater tells both Derek Morris and Darren McCarty that they should both be rushed to the hospital to have their tattoos removed, and that the employee of the movie theater doesn’t have any tolerance for tattoos whatsoever.

This same employee of the movie theater also tells Colin & Sheila’s 3 sons that their muscles are ugly, they should be fat and overweight; and that they shouldn’t be involved with sports either.

Going to see a movie with a bunch of friends is just one of many horrible social events and gatherings.

At the same time, Mary Ann, Shannon, Mag, Ann and myself happen to be driving to the Target store location nearby in the strip mall on John R Road in a diesel Suburban or in a diesel Centurion Bronco that I own, listening to J.P McCarthy’s radio show, middle-of the road format, CBS Radio programming on WJR-AM on the stock Delco or Ford/Philco radio units while driving in the diesel Suburban or the diesel Centurion Bronco. We never run into Chris, and mercifully; Darlene, Carletta, and my mother’s eldest brother’s wife; who are shopping at the same strip mall but at a different store located on the opposite end of the mall.

And while we’re shopping at this Target store location, I happen to run into a former teacher of mine whose name is Linda Culliton. Linda tells me that during a time she had taken a student of colleague Bob Sierzega’s class to provide the student with weekly speech therapy service; that Bob had briefly talked to her about what’s been going on with his wife Joan, a Physical Education teacher in the school district; before Linda had escorted the student down to the room within the school to provide hi with his weekly speech therapy services. and Linda tells me what’s been going on lately with Sue Waters and her husband Robert; and also with George Seguin, his wife Sharon, and his mother.

While we’re at the store, Mary Ann and her daughter Mary Agnes “Mag” both decide that we should go and retrieve each of Colin & Sheila’s 3 sons from the movie theater, take them back to Chris & Jim’s house; and lecture the boys that it’s against his father Colin’s and his mother Sheila’s will to let them go to a movie theater and see a movie with a bunch of friends.

As I’m driving to the movie theater from the store, a distance of only several hundred yards away; Mary Ann tells me that rarely, if ever; did she and Whit ever allow their children to go and hang out with their friends like this. Mag says “that’s right mom, you rarely ever did allow us kids to go and hang out with our friends like this”. Ann says that she and Paul would let their 2 daughters hang out with their friends from High School, but never would they let them go see a movie together. I add that going to see a movie with a bunch of friends is just one of many horrible social events and gatherings.

We go inside the theater, and Mary Ann and Mag both ask an usher which particular theater is (this movie) playing, the usher says theater #6; and then Mary Ann and Mag both ask the usher to go and retrieve Whit Gilligan II, Festus Gilligan; and Angus Gilligan. Soon enough, Colin & Sheila’s 3 sons emerge from the theater and Mary Ann tells the boys that it’s against their parents’ will to go and see a movie with a bunch of friends. And Mag tells the boys to wait until their parents find out that they did this. Mary Ann disciplines Colin & Sheila’s 3 boys the same way that she had disciplined all 5 of her own children while she and Whit had raised them.

I’ve also had a similar nightmare where the children of both of my mother’s brothers, both of Moe & Carletta’s daughters, both of Darlene’s sons, all 3 of Colin & Sheila’s sons; and a bunch of  friends of the children of my mothers’ brothers and my mother’s eldest brother’s niece & nephew each went to see a movie together at the United Artists movie theater chain location inside Oakland Mall, located not too far away from the other movie theater and the strip mall where the Target store are both located. And Chris, Darlene, Carletta; and my mother’s eldest brother’s wife each went shopping together at the remainder of the mall while all of the pupils went to see the movie at the theater inside the mall.

And Mary Ann and I felt contempt to go to this shopping mall, over to the movie theater inside of it; retrieve Colin & Sheila’s 3 sons, and take them back to Chris & Jim’s house. Because again, them going to see a movie with a bunch of friends is against their parents’ will and because neither Mary Ann nor myself like them doing that either.

BBC Television Program Top Gear

I wish that the BBC television program Top Gear would forevermore remain in it’s original format since it’s inception in 1977. There was absolutely nothing wrong with Top Gear’s original format.

I absolutely do not like Top Gear’s newer format that it’s had since 2002.

Episode Of Phil McGraw’s Talk Show About A Girl With Bipolar Disorder And Her Family

An episode of Phil McGraw’s talk show about a girl with Bipolar disorder and her family.

Sadly, the parents have never really showed their daughter any respect all her life, the parents have threatened to divorce each other with the father also threatening to take their other two children with them, the father wanting to institutionalize their daughter while the mother wants their daughter to stay put at home; and the two other children of this couple who are alienated by their Bipolar sibling.

What I personally have to say about all of this is how could a parent be so ignorant of their special needs child, their child who has a disability?

It won’t be anything that I’ll have to worry about since I don’t ever plan on getting married and having any children myself.

Noah Wyle – Santa Barbara Surfer Profiles PostModern Surfer.com

Though actor Noah Wyle is a person who isn’t my cup of tea, if there was to ever be a casting for an actor in a television show or movie to play NASCAR driver Elliott Sadler, Noah Wyle would be perfect.

Not only is Noah Wyle as morbidly athletic as Elliott Sadler, but Noah Wyle also bears a passing resemblance to Elliott Sadler; and Noah Wyle also has as much of a penchant for facial hair as Elliott Sadler does.

This does not include the fact that Elliott Sadler himself will be making an appearance in the Arthur movie for adults, playing his own self.

Home That We Could Purchase In Early Life And Continuous Livelihood

This is another home that we and my paternal grandmother could jointly purchase and move into together, but it would be way too new to purchase second-handedly.

It was built in 1991, and it was likely built for a similar reason as to why we would build our own house in this area-to have a sizable house with 4-5 bedrooms on a large plot of land, with a sizable outbuilding on the property.

http://www.allnorthvillehomes.com/MI/Oakland_Township/29685387

I’ve settled once and for all on us purchasing an empty 13 acre lot in this area, building this house plan, along with a 5,500 square foot outbuilding:
