Default It's raining Cats & IS's

Starting to see quite a few IS's on the road these days.
I'm out in the Bay area for work this week and along with BS rain have seen at least 2 per day.

IS's are not dogs.

Seriously, the New IS is still a rare sight here in the Bay Area. I see far many more E90's everyday.

Sometimes at my office I see 4 other IS's besides mine - just in one parking garage. Odd thing is, of the 5 IS's, four are 350's (including mine) and only one is a 250. Exact opposite of the ratio that Lexus expects to sell them.

I've still only seen 1 IS on the road. And I've had my eyes open for them ever since I ordered mine. Not to mention I commute about 100 miles 4 days a week...

A couple weeks ago one morning, I saw 3 IS's within a span of less than 2 minutes. Other than that, I usually see one every few days . . .

I think Vlad wins the "I don't see very many IS's around here" contest.

Default Patchy drizzle in Chicago suburbs.

I've seen maybe 4 or 5 around the area since November. All of 'em 250's.

Still rare.

I saw about 4 IS's last Saturday. I didn't get a chance to see if they were 250's or 350's. Made me feel less special.
