Default My 2nd Lexus

I was looking to get a 350z roadster, but I eventually changed my mind. Plus I already have a two door car. Test drove a few of them and the 350z (manual). The IS felt a lot more fun. I will be fair to the 350z though...I didnt get to test drive an automatic. Had I done that I think it would be a comparing apples to apples.

If I mod it will be very little. Better intake and wheels. Thats about it. My Vette gets the attention in regards to mods.

I purchased my IS350 under 20K miles and very glad I didn't pay for new. Not a mark and was like new condition!...After paying full new price on my Porsche...I told myself what a waste of money not to find a least a year old first..cars lose so much value after you drive off the lot..as I'm sure alot of us already know congrats on your IS...hold that thought about modding mildly...you know how that goes at first
