2,000 miles and not an F to be found
I am finishing up a 2,000 mile trip from Dallas to north Carolina..and back.... to Assist flood victims..I have crossed five states and I have not spotted an F the entire trip. So if any lurkers on this forum want exclusivity of a sports car.... the F is the one. My colleagues asked me to show them one on the road....much like Bigfoot.....it was elusive

Yeah, last weekend, I saw a white RCF for the first time ever on the freeway. Never seen another RCF on the road. Also, I am the only one in my city who has a molten pearl/Carbon TVD package RCF.

I know the feeling. It feels GREAT to NOT see another RCF while I drive in the middle of NOWHERE. I'm with you.
A few weeks ago a couple of rookie LEOs in a small rural town stopped me for no real apparent reason except just wanted to check my car out (out of state license plate and darkly tinted windows, you know the routine.....). They radioed in initially said they had stopped a "white Maserati two door" which another LEO whom I work with later told me. While one was talking with me, the other was checking out my Borla exhaust in the back. I was so tempted to stump on the gas pedal, but then I'm sure the whole PD will be talking about it while they haul me into jail. So the usual SOP questions and answers session got started. I kindly told him I'm going "over there" to work and I've got to go. He asked me if there is an emergency and I noded which is absolutely true due to the nature of things. He then told me to have a nice day and to "keep it down". LOL
After arriving at work I found out that my RCF sticks out like a sore thumb. The LEO I worked with told me they "heard" my Borla exhaust WAY before they even saw me as I rolled to a stop at the stop sign. The two new LEOs could not believe it was a Lexus (the Lexus they had in mind was still the "grandpa's LS430". LOL.
I'm so glade this did not happen in SoCal otherwise my RCF probably would have been impounded and tickets issued for disturbing the peace.

Agreed. It feels great to have something no one has a clue what it is (or at least, majority of the people). Makes it feel more special.

I’ve had mine for a bit over two weeks and I’ve seen a white and an orange. Though I still get some “wtf is that” looks which feels nice.
I live and work in palm beach county Florida though so the car **** here is otherworldly.

I drove from Rosenberg, TX to Roanoke, VA in August and the only F I saw was the Lexus Racing/3GT Racing RCF GT3s at VIR. Everyone I saw at gas stations, hotels, and restaurants wanted to know what kind of car it was or said they saw the commercials but the first time seeing one in person.

I must say that the ones that are to sell on my local internet plattforms are there since a long time for an expensive price (20'000$ more than in the US in general, for the same mileage). At a moment or the other, the owners will be FORCED to sell them for a decent amount, and I will be there...

I live in a city of over 4 million people, and I've only ever seen one RCF in the wild. I've only seen two Sport Hybrid RLX's on the road, so the RCF is even more rare haha.

Yea it’s crazy, the rarity of this car is a little astonishing actually, I love it. I’m in Maryland and saw my first RCF (ultra white) just a few days ago while I was in mine. Saw a black ISF Friday but unfortunately I was in my daily. Even with my 1600 mile trip driving the car home from Texas, I haven’t seen one. It is nice to know you really own something special though.
Also, hats off to you sir for helping people in need.

I see an occasional RC, and another RCF maybe once every 6 months - but I have never seen another Sport Hybrid RLX on the road.

I drive from Rosenberg to Pearland Monday through Friday and I've seen 2 RC F and 1 GS F in the past 2 months. I was very surprised to see the turnout at a get together in Houston on Facebook last week.

Same here. Last year at a hotel people gathered around my RCF as I came out. I thought maybe someone had hit my RCF!!! As it turned out, they thought my RCF is the one they had seen in the movie, Black Panthers which we all know it's not true. They were taking pictures with my RCF and asking where I got the car from and what is it?? I told them it's a V8 and they can not believe it!! LOL
