Default My 2013 Nebula Gray/Black ISF



Year: 2013

Purchased: 01/05/2013

Color: Nebula Gray with black interior

Other: NAV + ML

Mods: ClearBra, Valentine 1 hardwire, K&N air filter.

According to the manual, the break in period is 621 miles, I'm above that now but waiting on 1000+ to swap the break in oil.

Car is a blast to drive and turns many heads.

Thank you. I first heard about the ISF in the San Francisco International Car Show, 2007. The Lexus Rep took down my name and # and said they will call me once the car is available for a "test drive".

About 7 months later, they called about the Lexus ISF Event in Fontana International Raceway. I did not hesitate and booked a flight and hotel to Orange County.

Saturday morning I was driving car # 1:



Here's the old beast I had at the time, 2004 WRX STi Stage 2 protuned:



I told myself, If I ever get rid of this car for some reason, I will get the ISF.

2010 came and I bought my first property and the STi had to go. It was a sad day.

So 6 years after driving the ISF on the racetrack, some careful financial planning and a huge salary increase, I was finally able to make it happen.

My plates are the same as my username, it's pretty funny when people try to figure it out, I explain them it's the engine code.

More fun from that day back in 2008.....







I called my father and told him about this car, "oh geez, what are you planning now" was the response.

I love performance cars.

Sure, may be a few weeks as I'm going out of town, but I will take better photos of it.

Congrats on the purchase! Very few Neubla Grey F's I've seen, and it looks really good with the new 2012-13 wheel design. Enjoy it!

Thank you. I initially thought I'd end up with a 2011 USB, but as time went by, I started eyeing the 2012's and 2013's.

I saw this car (2012 model) back in October at the showroom and really liked it. My other friend ended up with a 2011 USB, so I decided I wanted a different color.

Nice car. I think the current ISF wheels are the best to date.
