I would have to write a book about it. Suffice to say that I am one sick puppy when it comes to cars and I've had about 55-60 different ones since 1999.

Wow that's definitely a purchase and changeover that would wow even Lexus themselves.

Mark,
Like Henry took the words out my mouth, I'm surprised you'd let go of the GT3 (I'd be more inclined to swap the RX instead).
Didn't realize you had all the other nice rides. What was your take on the Cayman S? It was one of my possible choices for a future car. Out of all those cars you've had, which one(s) were your favorites.
Also, which dealer did you go to? I'm surprised it was a female salesperson (okay that's not pc), actually that is wasn't seasoned salesperson that went with you.

I forgot that he currently lists an '05 IS in his stable. I would definitely swap that instead, an IS for an IS. So he'd still have a practical sedan and the RX plus the weekend track ready GT3.

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.

Favorite - probably the GT3. The Ferrari was cool but it was outrageous to maintain and something was always needing to be maintained.
I've been buying Lexus's from Kathleen for 3 years now.
