I bought my 2010 ISF Halloween 2011, I put about 60,000 miles on it during that time period. These miles were very memorable, enjoyable, it was a treat to drive this car. I loved the ISF, it did everything very very well.
However, recently I've been running into a couple of issues (unresolved steering issues) and I noticed I was starting to do my obsessive craigslist browsing thing. Even though the ISF was under warranty I was tired of taking it in for a week only to have the steering issue pop up again. Also, I got married 2 weeks ago and we are now planning have kids over the next few years. My wonderful wife gave me the go ahead to find a car that I can enjoy while I can. So I made the move!
This morning I woke up extra early to swap my factory exhaust over. I made the 3 hours trip to a small town outside of Portland, where I found my 2010 GT-R. Completely stock aside from tint, super silver, premium model, with 15,000 miles. I picked it up for 63900, and recived 35,500 for trade on my car. I will cash in on my remaining warranty and sell my JOE Z exhaust to help cose that gap further.
It was very sad leaving the ISF, but it feels good again to learn about a new car and learn to appreciate some new things. So far I LOVE the GT-R, I can't wait to learn all the buttons! I've been on a lot of forums, this forum is by far the most mature,friendly, helpful community I have come acrossed! I'm already noticing some of the folks over at GT-R life aren't so friendly.
I'm excited to see the new RCF this month, and have plans in the back of my head to possibly sell the GT-R someday for the RCF down the road. Time will tell. Thanks for all the help!
I will be selling my JOE Z exhaust, as well as a set of barely used drag radials and rims! Check the classifieds soon.

My ISF was just under 70,000 miles FYI. I was hoping to get 36 on trade, but me selling my remaining parts should make up for it.
Halfway down to Portland my power steering went out, assuring me that it was time to move on. I restarted the car and it was fine for the last 10 miles or so. I was very paranoid the car was going to act up on its test drive, bu she did fine.
