Haha.. yes, yes.. I'll post some pics soon. I just bought some sweet lenses for my camera (they cost more than my F-Sport setup!), but I need to coordinate having the time and having my car clean to take pictures! Maybe I'll take some this weekend and post it next week? =)

You know, it's funny. One part I left out of the story was that a younger Asian employee was saying, "You know they have an IS with quad-pipes?" I was laughing silently because as much as I love the power of the IS-F, I think those quad-pipes are fugly. Most of my F-Sport options are hidden and they probably don't know about it (except for the chassis brace if they bothered to look).

Glad you like it!

I love the quick shifter. Man, it completely changes the feel of the car and is much nicer to drive. It takes about 2 weeks for the shifter to loosen back up to a more stock-like feel, but with the throw much shorter, it's a big difference. I can even feel quicker acceleration because my shifting time is shortened. They say 31% shorter, but it feels more than that. If you have an IS250M, this is a must-have. The cost + installation is worth every penny. This is how they should've made the IS250M in the first place. If they did, there'd be more MT owners.

Sadly, I didn't make it to the hamburger run. My schedule had changed and I wasn't able to be there. Maybe at the next meet!

Yep, they are the same... I'm still on the Volk rims. I put them on a month or so before the Hamburger run.

My previous rims were the Work Emotions- which I sold to Mike - but he was unable to attend the meet last time.

Gotcha, I was considering the emotions but im not sure how they would look on a lighter colored IS.

Cant wait to see how they look on a black IS though

P.S: it was nice seeing you again at the bbq, i parked in front of you that day and we talked with josephdoc

llama. my car is the biggest chick magnet. except with girls that are legal. on sunday i was at a hookah place and some girl came up to me and started talking about it saying how she loves how it looks and she has a 250, and before that i was eating dinner and some beaautiful girl came up and asked if it was my car, and i said yes--and she simply said "it's nice" and kept walking. and ive had a girl roll up to me in a CLS and tell me that my car was sick.

that's why there are so many haters on the planet--cause all their girlfriends want us.

oh and extreme...this is for you. pulled this outta the bbq meet. only pic of my car haha.
