The stereo in the ISf leaves a lot to be desired compared to what they drop in an LS460 with the ML package.
Couldn't agree more! My previous was a '96 LS400 that I loved for 7 years...steering column issue at 221k was its' demise...all I did was buy an amp, sub and box and I was literally slamming with stock stereo remaining. They matted the **** outta those cars, apparently.

And the gas tank thing gets me, too. It's weird when the gas light comes on just after 200 miles on a tank...I know it has 2.5-3 gallons left, but I find it hard to just keep driving and not fill up..

And the muscle-bound monster around 4k is awe-inspiring every single time...

Awesome post! I used to be a big car stereo enthusiast, and since I got the F I find myself turning the stereo off more than I ever have in any car...plus, it's not like I can hear anything over the rumble anyway if I'm letting the beast run free...
