can't imagine how tedious it was to do those pics with ms paint.

alex - you can get gimp for free, or photoshop essentials for very little - please man, save your sanity and stop using ms paint.

As for me, I'll have to drive it first obviously, but so far I like what I see (especially the interior). I may keep my 2IS (as it's already paid for) and just lease a 3IS though under my master lease program and hopefully keep it stock. We'll see though, I'd like to get a house soon so that would be priority

Nice Hoovey! Let us know how it drives when you test it! I will probably test drive it here in PR when it arrives, but just for fun. Like you, I already paid for my IS and will not be buying any cars for now, as I have other priorities I need to take care of.

You're thinking properly, I wouldn't even lease a 3IS. You already have a nice ride and your money will be better spent in the house. Let us know when you test drive the 3IS. We would like to hear your feedback

I started using MS Paint to do "chops" here in CL. At first, it was pretty tedious, but now I've gotten better at it. One of the members here, Tim817 (which I haven't heard from or seen in the forums for a while) hooked me up with a decent version of Photoshop. I tried using it for a while, but it was too complicated (or maybe I had gotten used to MS Paint), so I eventually stopped using it. I might use it again sometime in the future, when I can figure out how to use it. I mostly use MS Paint to do the "picture mods" here in CL and don't do them that often, so I'm keeping my sanity for now

. Hope you enjoyed the mods I did with the 3IS.

Last ditch effort I'm afraid. January 2012 had horizontal bars for the lower air dam. Oh well. This looks fine with the honeycomb

Now that I'm a Lexus salesman, I get to see all the corporation presale videos and the one i saw last week made my jaw drop. It looks way cooler in those production vids. The technology is amazing as well. I can't wait. I know we are going to make a ton of money off this car. The coupe is not too far behind. I am salivating over the money from that one.
