Default Picking this F up next week

Hi guys,

Im picking this F up next week when its nice out. Going from Rochester NY to Sharon MA (6 hrs drive in normal condition).
I might fly over to pick up and then dive it back taking the back road (~10 hrs drive) since the pros recommend not to drive at the steady speed during breaking period. This would be the best road trip ever for me.
What do you guys think?
Here are some pics

are the "back roads" scenic at all? you should snap shots of your new ride along the way back and update the thread.

Nice color! SFP is my favorite though that could be a bit bias. I really like the new wheel design.

Thank you guys.
Pearl White for Life my friends. I drove this for the last 14 years (bought it new too). if these rims are fit, they will be winter tires on it (it is the same bolt pattern).

Congrats! You're gonna have a blast driving it home. A clear bra would be a smart choice

Welcome! Make sure you join NEISF: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...sf-thread.html

Also see if you can attend the all ISF mega meet I'm organizing with another F owner. It is located in Dover, DE on April 27: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-dover-de.html

We're trying to shatter the world record for the biggest ISF meet. The West Coast is also trying to break this record......
