Default I just Graduated

From Japanese sport compact cars. Well almost I guess.

I just recently picked up a 2006 Lexus is250 RWD.

So far putting about 100 miles on it already today, I'm loving it.

Must smoother ride, better acceleration, much more comfortable, and easier to drive than my NSX, AE86's, and my RSTI.

This will be my daily driver for now until I finish my final AE86 project which can probably be seen at this years car shows under Drift Office

Anyways I will post some pictures once the weather stops raining and when I have time especially with my busy schedule which consist of school in the morning and work at night

Welcome me as for I'm a Lexus noob

Mike

From NSX to IS250? Thats a strange move. I would have got an NSX if I already had a daily can and a house to park it in. Too exotic for apartments though, lol.

I still have the NSX, it's currently in the body shop to get a new rear bumper put on.

Too much work has been done to the NSX to sell especially for the amount that I want and people aren't willing to fork it over

If you buy an NSX or a type of exotic car, living in an apartment isn't an issue as far as storage. You can always rent one of them storage places that can fit a car with around $100 to $300 a month.

My friend rents one out in Auburn for $300. It has 2 garage door bays, fits 3 to 4 cars depending on sizes, has lights, has power, and also have a loft just incase he falls asleep working on his car.

He also has a sand blaster in his rental garage to blast parts as big as wheels.

For now I'm going to slowly mod the car with suspension, wheels, and tires.

Going to do HID and also the NavTV mod.

Not going to heavily modify the car until my AE86 Levin is fully finish and when the NSX gets finish also.

Thanks Nao. I remember seeing your air ride LS and wanted something in that nature.

I've been driving the Lexus since Thursday and have put about 250 on it as of today. Can seem not to enjoy the comfort and the plush-ness

WOW!

Can't believe I'm getting rid of this car now.

No mods has been put on this car. Was so comfortable that I just used it as a daily.

But going to get another Lexus but an older one for some VIP hotness and BOOOST!
