Hey All!

After 1 year and 5 tickets with an Acura TL Type S, it was time to settle into something a little bit more refined, sporty, and luxurious.

Picked up a 2011 Lexus IS250 w/ Navigation+Luxury package, and loving it so far!







steer clear of tickets & avoid my license suspension, and hopefully will be hopping into an IS F

Likewise. I loved my TL-S too, and was very sad to see it go I had an 08, but had to get rid of it because that thing just makes you drive fast, regardless, lol.

thats bone stock, just off a lease with 15k, the only thing they left on were rear tints. However - those wheels are part of the "Luxury Package" on the 11/12 models, which include HID/LED daylamps as well, and stitched- two tone leather upholstery.
