Default IS F: Longest car I've owned...what to do with you?

Dear IS F,

It's been 3.5 years we've been together since the day I brought you home on September 17th, 2008. It's been awesome. For the most part, I've kept you stock like I said I would. I helped you lose some weight by getting rid of those pesky mufflers and the resonator so that you can sing without restrictions.

You've been the best car I've ever owned. You've never had a major problem other than the sunroof not closing, but you never left me stranded on a rainy day. I blew the rear deck subwoofer...but you and I both know we needs a subwoofer when you've got the roar of a V8.

But now I question our relationship...is it meant to last? Should I leave you and side with the Germans? I've never questioned our relationship until now...and I think because I'm questioning it, it's time for you to go to a new home. Should I trade the three letters of IS F for the three numbers of 911?

CRAP...WHAT DO I DO??!?!?!? I know some of you are lurking on here...how the hell did you part with the IS F? Did you drive another car and go...yeah...no more IS F for me? I don't know why but I feel so attached to this car.

IS F...911... What to do....

Make sure you leave your phone number with her.... So the next owner can call you and give you updates on a weekly basis..

She will miss all the WOT you give her..!!!

Here I considered you a friend and now you're gonna go and buy a souped up Volkswagon?!...

JK...buy it man, it's a fine piece if German engineering.

But if you do, it's straight to the back of the pack for you on our SoCal F runs.

I am thinking about trading my LS 430 for a Cayman S. I like the idea of a mid-engine vs the 911.

No plan to sell the F, though.

If you don't need boot space or carry rear passengers then the 911 is a truly superb car! Won't be as exclusive but will be a more tuned drive.

You prob have just enough time to go own a 911 and be back for the new IS-F

I'm trying to resist the modding bug, I have for the year I've owned the F... but if I were you I'd mod it... that's what I plan to do when I get "tired" of the F
