Curious as to how our membership uses their cars, or what they use their cars for. It is clear that Lexus intended to build a track capable car that could also be driven to and from work and the grocery store. That is part of what makes this car so great. But so many of us (myself included) don't even track the car. Some would argue we should have bought an IS350 if we never had intentions to hit the track, but my counter is that when I step on the accelerator, even just merging onto the highway from an on-ramp, I don't regret my decision one bit!

 

It is my weekend car - use it to take the kids to and from grandma's house on the weekends and the (very) occasional late night solo highway or back road blast. Unfortunately, car sits in the garage all week.

 

I use mine to pick up girls when my wife is out of town

 

Mine's a daily driver, but when I go out with the kids I take the Acadia (not enough space in the ISF for 2 baby seats and a push chair.

 

I use mine everyday, as well as the occasional track and drag day...

 

Mine has always been a weekend ride. It's a great change of pace from the monotony of work on a daily basis, and it definitely gives me motivation to get through the workweek. I'm planning to do more track days (haven't gone to the track in over a year due to work) in the upcoming year as well.

 

daily driver for me, no track time and probably never will. purists or whomever can tell me i'm wasting the car's abilities but you know what? i've worked hard for my worldly possessions and i'll enjoy them the way i want! haha at most is 'spirited driving' to and from work and when i'm out by myself on the weekends, which is rare. (i try and drive like a grandma w/ my pregnant wife on board these days.)

plus, i'm an auto enthusiast and i think i can appreciate the car the isf is. and even though i may not track it, i like knowing that it IS track ready. just like the fact that many of us might not fully use all 416 horses everytime, but we like knowing that it's there and ready if we want to squeeze the trigger.

 

My vote is in daily driving, spirit driving and racer by blood

 

Great thread Kevin. Mine is a weird situation. I'd consider my F a semi-daily driver, occasionally tracked on the drag strip. I drive it only when there is no precipitation. I haven't driven it in the past 2 weeks (and counting) due to snow and salt on the roads. Once snow/salt hits the roads, the car probably gets driven a few hundred miles just to make sure the battery doesn't die and to prevent flatspots on the tires.

 

Daily driver with track duty on road courses occasionally.

 

I take it out on weekends. I wanted this car so bad I still can't believe its there when I ho into the garage.

Daily driver is a Ford flex.

 

Daily driven kid transporter and grocery getter. 1 day on a road course so far with more to come!

 

I tried the two car thing before I bought the ISF. I had a "boring but semi-luxurious" car as a daily and then a loud, low, and impractical car as a weekend warrior but I decided I wanted to enjoy a car every day and not just have it sit there. Since the weather rarely gets bad enough that the roads need to be salted, I got the ISF with the intention of making it my primary car, and it is. My wife has the SUV for family trips/kid hauling.

I'm not ruling out a track day at some point, but I have no immediate plans to do so, especially since it IS my daily driver.

 

Daily driver with track duty on road courses occasionally for me as well.

 

F was my daily driver but it transitioned into a weekend car/seasonal car. Maybe, you can add seasonal as one of the choices for those that live in snowy states?
