Default Good news and bad news.

Well I have good, bad and good news. First good news is my wife and I are expecting our second kid. The bad news is the ISF had to go. The other good news is I stayed in the Lexus family and just bought a 2014 GX460. In a couple years I'll get rid of the wife's car and come back to the F's depending on what's out. I hope there will be a variety. Maybe RCF. Or if they do another ISF or make a GSF. We will see. The ISF was an awesome car. It had 81,000 miles and everything was perfect on it. I don't have one bad thing to say about the car. Lucky I really do like the GX460. It's an amazing true SUV. See you guys when I get my next F.

Great blessings to you, your wife, and your second child. Glad to see you remained in the Lexus family. I was looking the GX and LX since my gf wants to stat a family soon, and both exude so much luxury that it's hard to consider its competitors. Post pics when you get the chance!

Thanks everyone. Here's the new ride sitting next to our other car. I thought the starfire pearl with black interior looked the best on this beast.

very nice upgrade, but you can still squeeze 2 kids into the back seats of the ISF, as I have demonstrated below :



But to be honest we rarely take the ISF when we go out with the kids because it's just too much of a hassle lol so I don't blame you for swapping your car, and congrats on your new baby.

Yea I know I could fit 2 kids in the ISF but it's not practical at all. I'm 6 foot so I like my seat back and there would be no room for strollers and luggage on road trips. Pain in the a$#. No worries because I know I'll be back in some F form.

By the way it is not a buyers market for F's right now. There is a demand for them with production about to stop and no other F out right now. I seriously made money off my F. I basically got paid to drive it.
