Default My first ISF

Here it is:



Maybe my URL won't show up as I am new and there are some new rules.

It is an 09 Matador. Wheels are chrome, not sure if they came with chrome from the factory, but regardless, they are going to get powder coated in the near future...

I put it in sport mode for the first time at lunch today. Wow. Previous car was an 09 535i that got Lemon Lawed, before that, 03 Porsche 996. The ISF feels faster than the 996, but maybe that is because I have been in the BMW for the last several months. Who knows, who cares! I am just stoked I finally got my ISF!

Clownshoes because I wear size 14. It is a curse…. However, at 6’4” and a slim, trim 280lbs, the ISF is roomy enough!

Going to do the wheels in a gloss flake black or dark charcoal. Maseratti uses a color called Empress Black which I think would look great.

Going to do a mild CB exhaust, nothing too extreme as I commute about 150 miles a day. Maybe an intake. I might black out the roof.

It has a few scratches I need to get taken care of. My plan is really to keep this car forever, if I can manage it. I think they will become like the Supras, NSXs and GTRs in that they are going to be highly sought after in the future.

I have only seen maybe 6 ISFs on the road. Almost bought an M56, man I am glad I went with the F!
