Smile Just wanted to thank everyone for a great time and all your help! Its time to replace

I have decided to trade in the IS for an SUV for my wife. I will be stuck driving her car for close to a year when the lease is up. My car is a wash to trade it in and hers is upside down Not an easy thing to do but its best for her and my future son due in about 3 mos. Having 2 small cars just wont be so practical...I can and will find a car to replace it with when the time comes. If the 09 IS is something worth wild you may see me back...I will more then likely purchase another make car to have something different.

I want to thank all of you for you help! I hope I was of help to the 2IS community with some of the DIY threads and simply answering questions.

I have enjoyed my time with everyone here!

I will part out some of the stuff but give me time to take them off the car and get things in line first here. I am still waiting to hear back from Lexus to see what they are willing to do. Once that is said and done I will post what I am willing to take off my car and list it in the classified section for those that may be interested.

here is my favorite pic of the car...


Thanks
Mike

Noooooooo!!! That's a damn shame!! I know you're doing it for all the right reasons though. Congrats on the addition to your family (I meant the baby, not the SUV)! What car are you going to be driving?
Since you are parting out your beautiful car, when you get a chance, let me know what front lip you have (I thought I read a post where you mentioned that it was the fab), and how much $$ do you want for it??

Sorry to see you go, man. But family comes first and it's admirable for you to make such a willing sacrifice for them. Stay with the community! Hopefully, you'll get a new IS in the future and be back.

That's a sweet looking ride. What's the list of mods that you've done to it? I won't start asking for parts until you've gotten everything taken care of and listed them. Respect.

Your IS was one of my favorite's on CL! Sad to see you go, hope you will get back into another IS and come back soon. Good luck with the new family addition.

Best of luck in the future.
