Great looking ride titoman I have yet to see the 2014 F Sport here in the NY/NJ area though I did see a Red / Black at the dealer yesterday !!! They had 2 people on the " wait list " for a White F Sport !!

I remember lurking clublexus earlier this year when everyone haaaaated the White IS ( F Sport or not ) and right now it looks to be the most popular color

Hey !! No it didnt work out with the numbers that we were discussing especially my trade in UGH all the F Sports also were fully loaded and I was looking for a non Nav ................ I'll be waiting for awhile for now to see when and if the numbers are better for me.

I'll probably drop by sometime late this year to see what they can offer for me !?!?

I noticed you have the "Lexus" emblem on the bottom left corner. Did you add that?
The emblem came with my Lexus. It's part of the Lexus Elite Club here in Glendale. It's a free program with a little perks here and there.

The only downside so far, if it really is one, is the complexity of the various systems/settings. There's almost too many options and too much information available. I suspect it's a question of becoming more familiar with the vehicle, and probably not having a need for more than a small fraction of what's possible. We'll see.

this Atomic Silver looks GREAT. I need to see one of these in person. Congrats

Nice shots. The Rioja Red interior works really well with the Nebula Gray, especially when the lighting is not direct like in your shots.

Thanks corradoMR2. As you can see the only mod I've done so far is to remove all dealership advertising.

They got my money -- I refuse to be a free rolling billboard for them.

That picture captures the red as it really is.

Careful with removing the back dealer plate. Got pulled over by the cops once for not having it on. They told me its required of all new cars. Got off with a warning.

Really? I didn't know. I'll have to plead ignorance, make my case and beg for any mercy he/she can muster.

California Vehicle Code 4456, relevant section is as follows:
c) A vehicle displaying a copy of the report of sale may be operated without license plates or registration card until either of the following, whichever occurs first:
(1) The license plates and registration card are received by the purchaser.
(2) A six-month period, commencing with the date of sale of the vehicle, has expired

Maybe the CHANCE of getting pulled over is greater when you don't advertise that its a new vehicle (so many cars are sold everyday) but it is not illegal to not display a plate if its new. There is no fix it ticket for "your not displaying that its new". But the cop needs to give you a reason for pulling you over so there you go. you do need the copy of the sale on the front windshield though...hope this helps...
