The Pursuit 2013

By  | 

Every year I hope that my car is in acceptable form to go to the Pursuit hosted by Longo Lexus. If you don’t know anything about the Pursuit or the Lexus scene, it is the biggest Lexus gathering on the west coast and maybe the whole nation. This year most of the crew upgraded from Hondas to Lexuses, so we were able to roll pretty deep to the gathering.

Just kidding, his older brother’s IS300 wagon is just as crazy. Young’s IS300 wagon is ridiculous as well!
