Default My Lexus IS250 Luxury. (Iceland)

I have never made a thread for my car so here goes. The car is a Lexus IS250 Luxury with the ML system and a MT. So far I have darkened the lights and have the Joe Z intake. I also bought some wheels for next summer.

Pics:







Here is a pic if the 18" wheels

Default Sweet!

Looks very shiney I really like the non-north american version that comes with the side markers as stock. Here in the States people might think that Iceland might be very remote...but in fact I met some people there that like Reggee/hawaiian music aka Jawaiian music on a music forum. Iceland has great taste in cars and music BTW re-post pictures when you put on your mooncakes for summer

P.S. I especially like piocs #3, #4 and #5.
Iceland is actually quite green.

Greenland is very icy.

Go figure...



B@tm@n: great pics! I love it when we have international guests showing off their shiny Lexi!!!

The reason Greenland is the opposite of Iceland is because many centuries ago, to discourage people from going to populate Iceland, they told them that Greenland was the place to be.
Having spent 1 year at Sondy, Greenland, I can tell you, there is NOTHING green about it at that level, a couple hundred miles above the Arctic Circle.
I think at the southern parts of it there might be some green parts, but not many. Iceland had an AFB there too at Keflavik I believe and I heard it was great.
I just read a huge thread on the M5 board of an Icelandic M5 fan who took his M5 all the way from Reykavik to Germany and back. He took alot of really great pictures too. Its an old thread, maybe in '04?? , but well worth the look.

Other than never getting sick because it was so cold, ( -84 below 0), it would not be a place I would return to for vacation. But during the cold war, we were there to defend the DEW line. DanF
