Here in SoCal, I drive from the south end of San Diego to the north end in traffic Mon-Fri. I rarely see ISFs on the road.
But for some strange reason, when I see one, I tend to see a few others within the next couple days. It is like ISFs only come out every blue moon.

By far, the worse part of owning an ISF, is being asked,
"What kind of Lexus is that?"
"ISF!"
"Oh... the 250 or 350?"

Haha I agree, I never saw one in person until late last year when I saw a 2012 SFP, and I saw it twice in a span of just a couple weeks. I then saw a USB F three times in a month, about 6 months after I saw the 2012. Then this weekend I saw a RCF and another ISF yesterday. I'm assuming it's going to be atleast another 6 months until I see another.

When we registered for the Ferrari event this summer I was asked which car we are bringing, I simply answered, "something more rare than a 458 Italia:-)"

I think it's because it is a very rare car and you don't see one but every 6 months if your lucky. People just don't know what they are. I had a supra before F&F came out and people had no idea what it was, everyone thought it was a Porsche.

Here in Vancouver bc Canada, you see them quite often. One of my coworkers bought one also recently. Thought I would be the only F at work but nope lol

Last time I checked, we had five in the local buy and sell.

Hey all,
Since trading my '12 Star Fire Pearl ISF in for my 13 AMG C63 I have seen zero ISFs. Actually, I have only seen 3 C63s since I purchased the C63 new in April of '14. The ISF is an outstanding machine and the last one I had was a much better performer than the '09 CPO I purchased before it. The only reason I did this swap is that I wanted the 6.2L engine as it was the last of the species. Mine has the Performance Pack and LSD (plus a bunch of other stuff) but if I had the room I would have kept the '12 ISF because it is that good and rare. By the way, I live in San Clemente, CA and have had zero problems in the 11K I've driven the C63 sedan.
