Couldn't upload pics with my phone! But it replaced my beat up '99 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS. I still have the piece of junk but it's now my winter beater.

I had a 2007 Saab 9-3 Aero that died and could not get parts so I traded that in for a 2013 Nissan ALtima 3.5SV-piece of crap. That got bought back through Lemon Law due to an ongoing airbag and tranny malfunction and I bought my 2010 IS350 yesterday.

Well I had a 01 Honda s2k and a 02 Lexus is300... I got rid of the s2k for my 13 is250... I still have my is3... I def miss the sportiness of the s2k but I love the comfort and style of the isx50... Ive always loved the style... Hopefully next I'll move onto an isf in a few yrs...

Grab a rear sway bar and an ISF steering wheel damper for your 250, you'll get some of that sportiness back

My old baby...

Digging up this picture for this thread makes me miss the fun times and great memories that I had with this car.

My previous car in 2010 before the IS.

After a month of owning it, some 16 yr old ran a stop light straight to my side
