Got the oil changed. Tires are 8/32 all the way around. Guess I gotta work harder to burn them off.

That's awesome! I live in Woodbridge now, but I have a condo right across from Hunting Metro that I rent out. I kind of miss cheap Ubers to Old Town and MGM.

My buddy owns https://www.yelp.com/biz/eddies-cust...-manassas-park - He's installed my GTHuas valved exhaust, my Swift springs, and installed a carbon fiber steering wheel on a Molten Pearl in our area. He's no stranger to the IS500 lol

My cooled seats work extremely well, to where my shirt ruffles at medium speed. Doesn’t seem to be the same across the board which is odd!

Oh no, not at all. If it’s 80 or above, I literally feel nothing not even with my hand. Was same with my IS 350 so I’ve chalked it up as not a great feature.

Yeah I'm with you on this one. I've owned 3 3ISes, and the ventilated seats have been kind of underwhelming in all of them. They work well if the rest of the car is already cool, funny enough.

Well clearly I can’t video it. Alex…next time we’re together, sit in my car and report back.

Y’all can decide which beverage to go along with that plate of crow. 😈😜

I’m still waiting on my IS 500 to get to the dealership (been sitting at the railhead just across town for 3 weeks for some reason). But, I’d be willing to bet on your side on this issue if the LS 460 I’m waiting to trade in is any indication haha. When I turn on the seat coolers, I can hear some noise from it, but I can’t actually feel anything at all.
