Beer, blood and eggs. Hmmm. Sounds like a cure for hangovers;-)

Default In a related vein

The latest Maytag models have an LCD touchscreen instead of regular controls. And there are Help and Stain modes, where you can pull up this same type of info on how to handle all kinds of stains.

Pretty spooky. I guess next they'll add an internet and gaming hookup!

Default I ordered my silver interior w/o Alcantara, because my salesperson said they're advising...

everyone against it, "as it will wear badly and stain easily". I'm not sure what to think, as now I kinda wish I had the Alcantara?

Default They're idiots...alcantara has been around for years...and wears very well...

it is also called "Escaine" in Lexus-speak...it has done well in Porsche's for a few years now, also. It is polyester...a pretty damn durable fabric...it is also very similar to "ultrasuede" a fabric used to make sport jackets...wears and cleans well.
