Just when I didn’t think any more lights could come on…

Car is still doing 60 and you're not on the side of the road! Gotta look at the positives.

Not sure what would bug me more, the lights on the dash or all the dust on it :) I kid though, my cameras have a habit of making meticulous car interiors look really dirty.

Is this one of the mid-aught Lexuses / Lexii / Lexus (??) <-- board has every emoji in the world except a face with a question mark over it.... Someone please enlighten me with the proper plural form. :)
 
Last thing I drove that was 60 mph at 2k was a truck with a 4:11 rear end.
That truck must have had a decent overdrive. That sort of RPM in top gear was (might still be) pretty typical before they came out with 6+ speed autos. I'd rather have a vehicle that can maintain speed in high gear, than have to shift down at every slight incline. VVT engines have helped a lot.

My first car ('86 Tercel 4x4 wagon) ran 4K RPM at interstate speeds, we've definitely come a long way.
 
I forgot how much I had until empty in the Mustang. When I went to get in the car and was running late, it said 10 miles to empty. Work is 9.8 miles from home. I thought about trying to be extra and hyper mile it, but who am I kidding, its a Track Pack Mustang, I can't hyper mile it. So stopped and made my donation to Shell on the way to work. Then when I got to work I forgot to reset my password for the Ford site, so I had to play the password shuffle for 2 hours until the new one worked.

But yours sounds more of a bummer. Mine was just a series of events from me not paying attention last week.
 
Your signature shows all Lexi vehicles, but the dash appears to be from a lower priced car (?). I'm surprised the dash would light up like that on a Lexus (is this a Lexus?). Not super high miles either.
 
LOL. That irritating chime would quit, too.
My f150 refused to accept the cheat code listed in the owners manual to disable that. Probably because I also have a lit up dash. Had to approach it from a different way.

It must be my car if I’m having a badder day.
 
Back in the day, people just put a piece of black electrical tape over them:D
I was driving my neighbors 1994 Ram one day helping him do square bales, he was an elderly farmer and I think every warning light was on... ABS, temp, brakes, charge, and engine of course... I did pop the hood to see if it had brake fluid in it, and it did, but it ran just fine...
 
Well, I had 2 bad sensors. Got them from Lexus for $70 each. Went to my local tire store and got them installed for $10 each.


Now as to the other codes, I ran 2 cans of Cataclean with 1/4 tank of gas. I am on my third fill up after the Cataclean and the
lights all went away. I ain't kidding. I didn't erase them. I was driving and looked down and the pretty lights were all gone.
I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed. I even checked my Blue Driver and I don't have any "pending" codes.
