Default So long friends.....IS-F makes way for 2nd g.zilla

Friends, after some deliberation I decided to trade in the F for another GT-R.
The F is a truly fine car but I just love my GT-R and so have added an Ivory Pearl to the Gun metal that I had recently purchased.

I will miss the F and wish you all the very best of motoring in this, the first of the F cars from Lexus.

I've been lurking on this board for a bit. And just as I was thinking of trading in my S4 for an IS-F, I see you're jumping onto something else already. Was there anything about the F that you really weren't satisfied with that prompted this decision? Or are you just so enamored with the GT-R?

Do tell.

Why 2? Very confused why you would get 2 of the same car?

Best of luck, zakizaki.....As good as the 'R' is, I'm sure you'll miss the 'F' down the road.

Ok zakizaki...you can only impress me if you figure out a way to drive both of those GT-Rs at the same time.

What can I say? The man loves his cars. Go have fun with them. Who knows, you'll probably have a new F parked in your driveway in 3 to 4 weeks so we'll see you back here.

ha ha.. and I thought I was a big GT-R fan! Wow... it's your money so congrats on that.. but man if I had money for 2 GT-Rs, I can think of many other cars I'd want instead of 2 of the same thing!

Or just add crazy stuff to the first one. Imagine how many mods you could do for the price of the second one.
