Default Farewell 2IS

Some of you that know me know that I have been itching to get a new car. I have considered the Scion FRS, BMW 335 and even the 2014 Honda Accord Coupe.....Well I finally did it, I bought a 2014 Ultra White IS250 F-Sport which is scheduled to arrive at my local dealer tomorrow 7/19/13.

I know I will miss my 2011 F-Sport, This car was truly my favorite of the 11 cars I have already owned. Thanks to the Vossen Team the car was highlighted several times throughout YouTube and other social media, I have 2 feature photoshoots and have enjoyed driving this beast daily.

Here are some pics of the phases Betsy 2.0 went through.

First pic is from when I traded my 2010 for the 2011

Sad to see it go but nice that you are still in the lexus family. Your 2IS was one of the cleanest, and i'm sure your 3IS will be too
