Default My 2IS turned 6

Just wanted to share that my IS 350 just turned 6 years old. It is the longest time with a car i have had.

Im pretty happy still with it, even i had several TSBs (specially the one of the engine cranking noise, that after changing VVTi sprockets 4 times I just gave up and learn to live with the noise....although i have a theory that every times it sounds, it changes the base timing of the enging, sometimes for better sometimes for worst), but in general im happy with it. It only have 25K miles, and i still take good care of the paint so it looks like new. some pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/8785832...90801411/show/

My previous car list include MR2, civics, Golf and A4, but im very sure that i might wait for the third generation of the IS, this car have a good balance in size, performance and confort. Hoping to get the 3IS comes with at least 50HP more.

So for now ill keep my 2IS for one more year I guess until 3IS arrive.
