Yeah, that was a good looking car I wished I would have got to see it in person. Keep sending out new pix.

The car went to Alaska, you must have sold it on Ebay. Great!

You must be ready for another Porsche by now!

I didnt sell it on ebay...it was actually Cars.com...Actually I took the IS350 to the canyons...and turned off all those electronic aids...and um...WOW..the only thing that it needs is springs/shocks or coilovers and exhaust...I couldnt hear the car at WOT! Its THAT quiet...I kept looking at the tach to see where I was...but this car, I know its blasphemous...is probably the fastest car "stock" that I have owned....and you can stand on it and spin the tires.lol...but enough of that....The Carrera handling was VERY, VERY good with the coilovers and 19's...IS350 needs more rubber, sways, springs, and exhaust...but wow it was a blast to open up....talk about a sleeper....

Naw...Its on the the next thing! I am over it..moving on....In some ways, its QUITE liberating...lol...no RMS worries, sudden engine failure, or any crazy repair that will cost me $1000 minimum...but I am looking for my next car IN ADDITION to the IS...The IS is a keeper for now. The question is..mod a IS350, and enjoy it, or drop the money on an IS-F....I have not seen one in person yet, so I am unsure...but for the price of an IS-F ($70k now +tax) I could keep my IS350 and get a Carrera too!

That is/was a nice looking car. If you mod the IS, make sure you post some pics of that. I can't wait to see how it comes out.

I've seen IS-F in a car show before and i'd to admit that it looks amazing except for the unnecessary exhaust tips. $70k + tax is way too much for a Lexus IMO. At that price i'd choose either the new m3 or C63.

Enjoy your IS, no doubt a great daily car.

Yeah, well the IS is MSRP's at 61...plus dealer markups right now...The performance will be pretty amazing, and the luxury and comfort will be pretty awesome as well...The C63 doesnt impress me, and M3 is not for me....too small...will be a cool car though. I wont spend that kinda cash on an IS...I'll buy a used one for the 40s in a year or 2....That 8 speed transmission is pretty amazing...faster shifts than an Enzo.....
