65 mph to 135 in seconds. That is amazing.

Once my car was in the shop and friends loaned me their Lexus for a day.

I got in the car, turned it on and stepped on the gas to go on my way and was half way down the street before I even knew what happened. Scared the bejabbers out of me. So I decided then I don't like zippy cars. But it is nice I admit when you have to get out of the way of a truck.

Oh you drive it everyday, that is good. I was thinking maybe it was just a weekend car. LOL on keeping your license. I wondered about that since it gets up to 135mph. Good on you.

I have a Honda CRV. Had Toyotas for years, but they are a rough ride and more designed for men I think.
The Hondas have really come a long way and are a poor man's Lexus I think. They are more designed with features and comfort for women. Especially older women and women with children.

I bought my daughter a Honda CRV for her graduation with a master's degree. She is a nurse practitioner and has to drive to the hospital at all hours and in all kinds of weather. So I wanted her to be safe. The CRV has all the latest safety features and even when the road is a wall of water, the automatic brakes go on and slow the vehicle down.

Eventually she wants to get a Prius like you have.
