Default 2IS on 20's... new years drive on the beach.

We drove to the coast to celebrate a wintery new years in a beach house and i decided to see how she would do on the beach. Actually went well! I was glad to see that the IS could make it on the beach just fine.

looks bad ***... ive always wondered is there a way to tell if its a 350 or 250 IS from just looking at it from the outside, obviusly besides looking on the back to see if it says 250 or 350. Like if one were driving by me can i tell if its a 250 or 350 or not really?

Normally 20s look too big on an IS but those 20s fit your car nicely OP

Make sure to spray your under carriage really well. That salt water is death to steel.
