Hey guys, picked up my F towards the end of October. It's been about six years since I've had a fast car and boy does this one feel great!

Originally started out with a 96 Maxima which is supercharged (got me in the car game). I added a new 04 Evo after I graduated college; that car was an absolute blast. Cams, exhaust, and a piggy-back computer made it quite a roller coaster ride. Ended up trading that in for luxury with a loaded, new 08 IS250. Loved the appointments but could never get used to the slow acceleration.

Fast-forward six years and I finally picked up one of my dream cars, 2010 Obsidian IS-F with 38K on the clock. The perfect blend of luxury and speed; everytime I drive it I feel alive. I'm going to try to enjoy it in stock form for as long as I can, lol.

Hello all! I've been creeping the lexus forums for a year now and finally decided to join. I'm currently sporting a 2009 Black Lexus IS-F! Just over 60k miles, and its been solid since day one. I also have a 2013 S6 and have some decent comparisons for anybody interested. I'm in a snowy area, so the IS-F will likely be garaged for the next few months. Pics coming soon.

Hi new ISF owner here.

Just bought a 2009 ISF with 31,000 miles on it. Bone stock came with a second set of 18-inch wheels with winter tires. I'll probably drive it on sunny days in the winter.

Crappy photos

New to me ISF



My toy hauler -- 2009 Lexus LX570
Winter and summer mode.






And my track beast for now:

Default Official introduction...

Hey CL
My name is Jason and I bought my 08 ISF with roughly 15,000 miles on it about a year ago and joined this site around that time as well. Since then I have picked up a ton of useful information. My initial plan was to keep the car stock as it really doesn't need any enhancing. However, that couldn't possibly last with all the amazing visual and performance options that I've come to enjoy seeing and reading about on this site. So far I've lowered it with all the Figs goodies along with a couple aesthetic changes. I've got a long list and a short list of more mods to come. It took me a year to introduce myself so who knows when a build thread will come

My previous car was an 02 IS300 5spd that I loved dearly until it was hit from the side. Even after a solid repair it never felt quite right to me. I spent years on My.IS and enjoyed the information about the car and the sense of community it provided.

I knew what I was looking for so when I found the F I traded in the IS300 with no hesitation. I haven't missed the 3rd pedal for a second. So...

Out with the old...

New IS-F owner here in Birmingham, AL

2010 in Black

My previous car was a 2005 Honda S2000, which was my daily driver and for over 4 years. I do miss my manual trans but it sure is nice to be able to have the option to relax now. This car is so much quicker than the S2000 it's not even funny. I'm loving every minute of it!

Greetings from Guam, "Where America's Day Begins" as it says on my drivers license. I just purchased today a 2008 Silver ISF. 16K miles for $28K, I hope that was a good price. Coming from a 2010 Mazda 3, so I just doubled my cylinders. I have been lurking on this site the past couple of weeks researching the car. It seems like a nice forum.

Just a quick shot for now. More to come in the future.
