Default From an IS350 to an ISF

Hey guys - I finally bought my dream car, so I'll be joining this side of the forum now

I've had my 350 for nearly 3 years and loved it. Being a big car guy I've always wanted an F. Recently, I REALLY wanted a v8 again. Well... after serious consideration of a wide range of v8 cars (including a 24hr purchase of a Range Rover Sport Supercharged, long story short Christmas came early in my gauge cluster and I was able to return it), I finally decided it was time to pony up the cash and buy my dream F.

It's an 08 with only 82,000 km (not miles). The previous owner purchased extended warranty so it still has 11 months of warranty!!!

I just picked it up yesterday and I already burned through 3/4 of a tank. This will be a fun daily haha

Awesome transition. I too used to own an 07 is350. I had it only for 1 year before deciding to upgrade to the ISF. BIG DIFFERENCES and it's a decision you will not regret

Looks good! Are the wheels from the 350 going to make the jump to the F ?

LOL @ the Christmas tree comment. Sounds like a comprehensive 24 hour test drive to me. Congrats on the F!

Congratulations! I too went from an is350 to F. It's great because you're comfortable with the dimensions of the car already. Now it's just the power that you'll have to adjust to .

And I can't help but mention your wheels are backwards.. L's are on the R's and vice versa.

Welcome & congratulations.

And great choice of color, you sure don't see many.

Watch out for the constables.
