Default Upgrade!

So about 18 months ago I coughed up my 2003 Ford Mustang Mach 1 for a Lexus IS 350 because my wife was close to delivering our daughter.. well I missed a V8 so much finally made a move. From Lexus IS350 to ISF. I really wanted a Ford GT500 but I think it is wise to stay in sedan for awhile longer. :burnout: Love this car!
