Yes in Minnesota most people drive IS250 AWD because of snow. My Is350 I only drive in summer.

Cool thread and love the matching cars. If I could, I would swap my Honda for a 1st Gen IS! I am running the Tanabe Medallion on the 350 as well but I added the Invidia mid pipes later because it was loud enough (for her) with just the axle back.

Okay here's a tip, if you think you can get away with it. The front, rear and back windows are tinted 35%, which is completely legal. Add 50% tint to the front windshield (not so legal), and the car suddenly looks like it has 15-20% tint all the way around. Cutting half of the light coming in the front windshield makes a huge difference in how the car looks, trust me!
