Default Farewell for now...

It's been fun to have owned my IS-F, but it's time to move on. I pulled the trigger on a 2007 911 GT3 with less than 3k miles on it. I'm still learning how the electronics work in the German cars and I'd say it's not user friendly. However, when you start driving the car, none of that matters. It's just a fun, driver's car.

I'll miss the F and maybe I'll come back in when the RC-F is available. For now, the journey ends here with the IS-F. This is a great community and I'll definitely be sticking around. Here're a few crappy cell phone pics.

Well, it's sad that you leave the IS-F family, but at least it's a worthy upgrade! You have yellow brakes on your GT3!!! Awesome!!!

Thanks guys. I'd love to make it a daily driver but the stiff clutch will suck in stop and go traffic. For now, my s2k is my daily driver and it's a lot more forgiving.

Maybe I'll get another Lexus for DD if I sell the s2k. As of now, I'll just borrow my wife's CT from time to time.
