Many of you are probably asking when i'm gonna eventually get an F? Well I it happened last Friday. I stepped out of my 07 GS350 and stepped into a new 09 IS F. Here is the old ride below...




Being exposed to the IS F since the World Debut of the IS F in Detroit at the NAIAS 07 in January 2007, one can only wonder.

After years, months, weeks and days of contemplating...I took the steps to order one. Since Park Assist is not available on the IS F's here in the Western Region as of late, my car had to be intercepted from the Tahara Plant in Japan. This IS F was destined for the Southern Region, but arrangements were made to transfer it to the Western Region. The F arrived on US Soil around Thanksgiving, but it wasn't released to the dealer for close to 3 weeks. The F was trucked to Longo Lexus late Thursday night early Friday morning, and I greeted it that same morning. Let me tell you, it took some time, but it was worth the wait. It is a 2009 Starfire Pearl w/Black interior which I picked up after it was PDI'd. I lucked out and got one with the rare Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's.

Please excuse the cam phone pics...better ones to come.
