where do we fit in ???
like the title states ...
So i came from a g35 coupe, and when going to car meets and things like cars and coffee i used to fall in with the tuners and other g35's .
Now, its like i pull up .. and i'm normally parked beside a maserati or something exotic.. or in the trenches with the bmw's .. and sometimes the subaru gang ??
at this point im trying to figure out where do i fit in ? or is the F the car that belongs to No group and it stands on its own ?
we don't quite fit in with the tuners being a V8 and all .. but the F is hella more elegant that any american muscle... Its not german or italian either but they seem to be the ones i end up beside the most.
so im curious .. where do you guys park at when you head to meets ???

Interesting question. There really isn't a strong Lexus contingency with regards to group parking and what not. Typically it's reserved for those who enter shows and want to park next to their buddy/team partner. I've noticed that if there is a genuine care in the car and what it's capable of, it won't matter where one parks.
Given that the IS F is a very specific breed of car and the lack of them around the roads (outside of So Cal from what it seems), it will stand out on its own. Those who want to get to know the car will take a genuine interest as a car enthusiasts. Those who wish to discredit its merits as "just a Toyota" or its "fake exhaust tips" will generally be the ones ruining events for everyone else by running their rides into the sidewalks and spectator areas. Then again, that says more about certain groups and drivers than the overall car enthusiast group at large.

I just park wherever I feel like, but usually next to a friend's ride. Roll up next to the rusted out NA Miata or the brand new i8. It doesn't really matter. What does matter is being friendly and respectful to everyone, informing anyone who is curious about the ISF, while showing genuine interest in others' rides.
We only started doing a C&C event here about 18 months ago, which was originally mostly populated by Porsches and Ferraris (our local exotic shop owner started the whole thing) but it has grown to include pretty much everything. The ISF fits nicely in the middle.

(XX) "It is the most interesting" car in the world...it stands alone! Therefore we fit in everywhere. I find ppl do ask about "what" it is. It's a great conversation piece. It almost opens that door all by itself for ppl to inquire. Hell its got a snow button and a furtive pedal dance if that's not versatility idk what is. LoL
Thats why I love my F. "F"its in everywhere.

I used to frequent the Blackhawk Coffee and Cars and I would be the ONLY ISF there. Every once in a while, I would see a blue one, but that person arrived late and parked all the way on the outskirts of the show.
In all honesty, I wouldn't care so much about who you park next to. Bring a folding chair, bring your breakfast, enjoy the show and have a good time.
I moved to NC and I am rolling with another member here, so there are 2 of us. Already met another owner and an owner of an RCF. Try to Network with people in your area through this board and see if you can find some to go with you.
If you want to take a nice little drive on 85 and attend the Morrisville Coffee & Cars on 07/02, let me know and you can meet us somewhere.
