Annoying as they are, there are few pleasures like hitting a tumbleweed with your car. They explode in the most satisfying way.

A tumbleweed killed my parents car. Seriously, it hit a sensor just right and they ended up needing to get it towed to a shop to clean it out to clear the sensor code.

Sounds like bad car design.

IDK, Lexus is pretty well respected. I guess they just don't have many Tumbleweeds in Japan...

Pro tip: Get an $8 BT plugin for the car computer. Read and clear your own codes, among other things.
