Default Goodbye old friend...

I hope the LC provides as much enjoyment as the IS did.

I see you've already updated your sig pic. LOL.

It's good to know that your IS350 had served you well for many years and you still kept it while you were in the market for many potential vehicles (including your canceled pre-order for the 2015 RC-F).

Enjoy your new LC and keep us updated on your long-term ownership of your new ride.

So what lucky dealership has your low mileage IS just in case someone is in the market for one?

Beautiful new LC though! Saw one on a flatbed headed to its new owner on my way to Myrtle Beach.

I think someone at the dealership already bought it. Was a little heartbreaking to get rid of it. The 2IS is a special car IMO. There hasn't really been anything I liked better (except maybe 2007 ISF) that I would replace it with, until the LC came along. I'll guess we'll see if that was a wise choice or not. I'm not a fan of big cars and the LC definitely feels bigger. I never had chance to see one let alone sit in one before I ordered it. First observation, the seats are NARROW. 1-2" narrower than the IS. Which is strange considering Lexus target, middle age buyers. But I'm a sucker for gadgets and technology, and the LC is overflowing with tech, not to mention drop dead good looks.

I pretty much alternate cars each day. And put on equal miles on each of my cars annually..

One other funny thing is the rear floor mats (photo included)..

What did you do, sold your house and moved into your neighbour's garage?

... I dunno about the colour choices though.

I'm very happy for you. I'm seriously thinking of unloading my two Corvettes and getting an LC500. Please keep us posted as you get acclimated to it.
