I drive my 08 IS350 about once per week, usually in the garage and does not get parked outside in the sun. Car is about a year and a half old and has about 7K miles

My sentiments exactly. The IS isn't rare, isn't exotic, and I don't think even a mint low-mile example is likely to become a prized collectible for a loooooong time, if ever. I hope those that are only driving theirs weekends are doing so because they take mass-transit, need a truck, or have other reasons why the car in unsuitable for their weekday needs.

I enjoy driving mine daily - it's quick, comfortable, and perfect for my needs.

Everyday 25 miles. I don't see any IS on the road. Sometimes maybe once a week that I see one.

Daily driver,
I enjoy driving my car every day.
I'm at 33k in only 1yr 6mo.
Rock chips are at a minimum & fixed.
She's out rain or shine all day every day,
still un-polished & paint sines like the first day.

She'll never be a garage queen, always true to the road.
