When I came to buy my IS200 in September there was one listed on the web with 80,000 miles for sale in Scotland. My local dealer said they're servicing one with more - I can't remember exactly but I think they said something like 120,000.

I've had my car 3 (23 days) weeks. Right now I'm at 3609 miles. I bought the car with 6.1 miles. So I drive on average 138.8 miles a day. What can I say? I love my car. I don't think that anyone has put that many miles on their car in such a short time. Another thing to consider, for the past 4 days I've been trying to drive a lot less because I don't want to make my girl prematurely old.

I got mine at the end of April...I now have 23,000 miles in almost 8 months!!

Solo...I also get gas every other day!!! I try to go to the same gas station...I'm sure they wonder why I'm always there, cause I go to one in Washington, near where I live...but I have Oregon plates. Oregon is one of the only states remaining where they pump the gas for you...but hell, I can save some money in Washington by pumping it myself!!! But they always look at me funny, cause they think we (Oregonians) don't know how to pump our own gas, since Oregonians are spoiled like that!

Cool swtcheeks415:

yeah, gotta get my donuts.... ahhhhh... donuts........=)
No, I live in Millbrae and compute to school and work in the city. Plus I end up at the street races in Milpitas at times. Bottom line is this car is just so fun to drive. I find myself takin off in the middle of the night to take a drive on highway 1 to Half Moon Bay just for the pleasure of driving in this car.

We all know the IS3 is pure comfort and total driver response all in one package.

Hey Solo...the water doesn't run all the time anymore...we too have droughts every now and then. Our water is one of the cleanest though...you can drink it right from the tap!!

I live about 9 hours away from SF...its really more, but whenever I drive down, I go non-stop...jus stop 3 times for gas and thats it. I know exactly where Millbrae is...thats where I stay when I come down...at the Comfort Inn near the airport.

The import scene here is nothing compared to Cali or the east coast. But we do have a few shows in Seattle at times. And we have one next month in Portland, also one in May. I may have my car at the May show with the Arms Design kit on. Won't be ready for teh February one.
