I can't believe you actually did it! 
Considering you never got a ticket with the GT3 and you were statistically one of the worst drivers in CA
(according to your love letter from the DMV)
Any bets on how long before you get a ticket with this beast?

3 speeding tickets and they send me a form letter....
"You are among california's worst drivers"..."one more point added to your already poor driving record and you will meet the legal definition of a negligent-operator"..."this is your last chance to avoid action"..."don't throw it away"...yada yada.
So, what do I do? Go out and get another fast car.

lol, that's the right spirit, mark 
i think the is-f is going to be trouble though. see, the car is too quiet, you don't know you are going fast
the gt3 is manual and louder so you know what you are doing.
if i am right, one of the tickets was on the ls460 right? must be quiet

Actually, I got 2 tickets in the LS460 but went to traffic school for one. Then I got one driving a Toyota mini van. The third one I got in the RX400h - I had my radar detector but they got me by aircraft. - Bastards

Hi Guys. Yes, I picked up my Obsidian IS-F last night. I really hated to let go of the GT3 but it was mainly due to economic conditions. Saves me > $1K per month in car payments and with the stock market down I needed to economize.
Plus it's more comfortable, easier to drive, wife can't drive a manual, attracts less attention, doesn't scrape on every driveway, has bluetooth, better Nav system, tires may last longer and cost less to replace.
Thought of a few more: 2 backseats with their own doors, ML Sound, 6 CD changer with DVD Audio, MP3 jack. Trunk that fits my 3 bowling ball bag.
