Talking New to forum and first time owner of IS300

Hi everyone!!

I'm Kathy and I'm new to both the forum as well as the car. I'm originally a nissan enthusiast, my previous car was a 1995 240sx. Sold her and got my new love.

Well it's picture time, here's the car i had before...

Welcome to the site. Loving the S14. Jealous. Used to have a Kouki...bought a Zenki but it wasn't the same. Satisfied with my Lexus though. Nice color, btw.
