Default My 18th Lexus is the IS F

Picked up my Obsidian IS F on Monday night. So far I'm enjoying the car even though I traded in a Porsche 911 GT3 for it. I didn't realize how much I was missing things like Bluetooth, ML sound, Back seats, trunk space, comfortable ride, more torque, not scraping the front spoiler on every driveway, etc. I haven't really explored the full capability of the IS F yet but really the race track is the only place I think I will be able notice much loss of performance/handling/braking vs the GT3.

congrats again mark i think if you work "harder", you are going to break the guy's record of having something like 27 or 28 lexus

k_dizzle, if you look at his history, you can see he has owned over 50 cars since 99 i believe, some of them being ferarri and porsche. it's probably not something we can understand

I think Lexus should implement a new rule. Buy 19 Lexus' and get the 20th free!? (You could choose the LF-A production version by then.. lol)

BTW, sick color!!

The IS300 is being used by my daughter - no way I would let her touch an IS F or GT3. My wife uses the RX400h. It would be too impractical for her to have the IS F, me the GT3. Need at least one vehicle that has some utility.

I used to have more money than brains. Now the equation is more equal. I didn't get any smarter so I must have less money now.

What is the point of changing cars so frequently? You still can't find your true love lol? Enjoy the rides.
