Default Bought my IS-F Today

So just wanted to say hey, have been reading the forums for quite a while just never signed up. Today finally decided to buy my IS F! Bought a brand new 2012 Nebula Gray Pearl with black interior. I have been loving every minute of driving and cant wait to get back in the car. Is a HUGE upgrade over the damn Honda Civic I've been driving for almost 14 years, which was nice not having a car payment, however the upgrade was way overdue.

Congrats on your purchase!

FOURTEEN years in a CIVIC!!! Man, if I could have driven just ONE car for fourteen years, I could have bought myself a Ferrari or Turbo S by now. But I'm so damn stupid I keep on changing cars. Having said that, the IS-F is my OLDEST car I've ever owned (March 2013 it will be FIVE years!) which says a LOT of the IS-F. I still can't find a better car!

LOL another advocate for keeping the car stock.. I agree. Congrats... break in the car, drive it like it should be driven after the break-in period. Then decide if you want more power or sound. You will love it. I upgraded from a 98 Integra and it took me a while to get used to the vast HP increase.
