Default Just bought an IS-F on Sunday in RI

Well I've just bought an IS-F from Inskip in RI. The people there were extremely helpful. I was surprised to see that they had one at the dealership. I was going to test drive it on Saturday but it was raining very hard out and wouldn't be the right conditions to test the F car out. So I returned Sunday to drive it and absolutely loved it. It's Black on Black with navigation and the Mark Levison sound system (I don't think you have a choice). Here are a few photos I've taken of it. If there are any other IS-F owners out there in the RI/MA area we should meet up!

Thanks.... I really hope that I can take care of black. It's garaged and it will be handwashed. The other day when I pulled into a local restaurant, one of the guys saw me pull in and asked if my car was custom. I told him no and that I had just picked it up from Lexus. He said that it was simply amazing just to look at. Kind of a neat feeling He kept asking me questions about it too. This morning before I went to the airport, I started the IS-F just to hear it. It sounds like a waking monster I left it in the garage. Didn't want to leave it at the airport so my fiance drove me with her car.

You take some AWESOME pics bro. I love the way you captured the grain of the finish on the wheels and the engine cover pic angle.

Enjoy the new car, makes me nostalgic for my MA/RI days when I see those pics!

Thanks for the compliment on the photos. Photos taken with a Nikon D80. So I looked on your web site and you're from CT right?

Congratulations on your new car, you will love it.

I'm surprise they already put the front license frame on it before it was even sold.

I was surprised too. When I left the dealership I called back to see if it was already installed or not. Unfortunately he said yes. Oh well. What can you do. I guess I'll keep my IS road legal for now and not risk a ticket. But if it didn't have one, I'd definitely go without it.

Nice pics! I was going to ask you what camera you use, but you beat me to it. Not surprised at all it's a D80.......

Oh when did you see it? I just happened to walk in on Saturday and saw it on the showroom floor. They asked if I wanted to test drive it but it was raining out so I ended up waiting until the next day. I left a deposit of course to hold the car just in case it didn't live up to all the hype. So on Sunday I went back and it was better than I imagined. I didn't like the fact that they deleted the middle seat in the rear not that I ever use it. But I like the fact that I have an extra in case I have to take more than 3 other people. We should get some IS meets together
