Only once it happened to me. I was driving to school and another guy had an IS350C who was about maybe 20 years old or so honked at me and waved when I passed him in my IS. Probably just because we were both the same age with IS350's.

Other than that, I noticed other Lexus owners, IS owners in particular in my area give each other nasty looks lol.

I always "try" to be nice and considerate to other drivers, no matter the make and model of the car they are driving. Notice that I did say "try", it doesn't always happen. I do pay special attention to Lexus drivers, especially IS drivers. But I agree with what chi123 said, I usually get stares or nasty looks from other IS drivers.

Yeah, I try to be considerate as well. I get the idea it's either because my IS is modded and most are completely stock or because I'm a kid with an IS that people give me these looks.

^ I don't know if its me or them, but I hear stories from other members on how when they see another IS the other driver gives them a thumbs up sign, wave, nod, etc. That has not happened to me, I usually get a stare down and then the other driver races off before I can attempt a nod or wave. And then there are times when I give a nod or wave and the other driver thinks I'm weird of something... haha

I've ran into a couple IS drivers that chatted me up a bit but in general, other Lexus drivers don't ever seem to notice. I owned a Jeep Wrangler two cars ago. Talk about courtesy! ALWAYS got a wave or a nod or a flash. I miss that...

Well I'm nice to other Lexus owners. others just tend to ignore.

About the greatest motorists even if their not enthusiasts I've ever encountered is Mini drivers. Borrowed my friends Cooper S for a week, and their all so nice hah. Always waving

I've definitely thrown a few waves when I see another nice IS however most of the time it turns out to be a middle aged mom who isn't paying attention... oh well

Happen once at the lights a young guy in an ISF gave me a nod and smiled at the lights before taking off, other then that nothing the older drivers seem to not notice.
