Default New to CL

Hey everyone,

I'm new to CL. But, I'm a member on .Net. I ran across this forum trying to research the IS350. I had a 2002 IS300 until it was totalled on 2/12/06 (a lady ran the red light and I t-boned her). I've posted a pic of the new one. I just picked it up last night from the dealership. All, I can say is wow! Cant wait until it's broken in. Having a hard time keeping the rpms low. Got the car with only 7 miles on it. I've got 614 miles to go!

I was so excited about the car last night, I didn't even use the digital camera I brought. LOL the pics are from my cell phone. I agree with ya. I love the color. I guess people really want this color pretty bad (also the car in general). When I was processing my paperwork there was someone waiting to see if I would back out of the deal.

Maybe the lighting, but it does show a lil dark blue on the paint. Welcome to clublexus.

Thanks! Yes my 02' was Graphite. LOL I had the same dilemma. I've always had dark colored cars. But, the Tungsten is a hot color too! I had the dealership look for both and they had a SGM allocation that wasn't pre-sold coming in. I waited about 2 weeks. Not bad. I was really lucky (I've read a lot of people are waiting a long time for their orders). I got everything I wanted.

I'm in Anaheim.

Check out the SoCal Regional Forum. We have a few meets here and there. Perhaps we'll see you sometime soon. We need more 2IS around...
