I was in front of, next to, and later behind an Iridium IS500 in east Honolulu today. It seemed so small from my vantage in my IS, LOL. It was bouncing a little weird, like when a car is lowered. Loved the color.

I spotted an IS 500 in what looked like Incognito color this morning on the way to work. If they are here you turned onto Dell Way and I was right behind you for awhile prior to that point. I was in the wife's 2013 IS 350 at the time. First time I have spotted this car/color in the wild.

The coolest, is watching how the car sits on the road and how different it is in design to the ‘regular traffic’ around it. You’ll go about your day smiling and say: “I drive that!”

Seeing the obvious taillight of our gen IS I knew it was an IS, once I got closer and saw the exhaust then I knew it was a 500. It was early in the morning and the sun had not risen yet so all I had to start was the taillight bar in the distance. I may have sped up a little to get a better view.

Where’d you get the 2UR-GSE carbon plate frame? That’s kind of cool and makes people google.

Hello to the woman driving the white seemingly stock IS500 in the Honolulu area. I gave you the thumbs up in the silver rental mustang.
