Gettin' Attention From People Who Appreciate
I just love my car! I know I shouldn't be prideful, as it's a sin after all, but it's just one of those awesome things that you can't help. I mean.. I'm an IS owner! And a manual too.
Say what you want about the 350 having more power, but when people know I have a IS250M, they gather like flies. I was getting my tires balanced and rotated at America's Tire in Mountain View, CA. They see STis and Evos there all the time, no one turns head. Here comes my IS with custom rims, tint and a manual shifter and I have 8 employees working on or looking at and talking about my car. Crazy!
One of the commented that they've never seen a manual version before. I told him that it's about 1% of US productions, so it's pretty rare. Another guy was asking me about my rims. They love them. Thanks again, imaputz!
One thing, I'd have to say. The Work lug nuts are awesome. I haven't taken pictures yet of my car since the day I brought it home, but I really should. The lug nuts are blue.. people have told me that they'll fade over time, yadda yadda. But these are seriously quality. No fade at all, light and durable.
Oh yeah. And the brace on the bottom looks freaking awesome when the car is raised. Thanks, RTIS250 for helping out with that!

Heres one of my fav stories about driving with my car:
My friend and I were driving in some slow traffic and as we passed a bus stop there was this girl about 13-14ish and my friend turns to me and says, 'look the young tuna checking out your car haha...', i just smiled, then after we passed the bus stop we rode along in silence for about 10sec then my friend says to me in a deal calm voice, 'i gotta get me one of these...'
