Lexus IS350
 
:bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

HOLY SHNIKES BATMAN -- My girlfriend traded in her rx330 for a new IS350, and she previously had a IS300. OH MY GOODNESS this thang is flippin sweet. If you get the chance to get behind the wheel DO IT. this is by far the most energentic and exciting car I have driven to date. I recently drove a 06 mustang gt and I think that the IS350 will give it a run for the money in a race. I am blown away . and I am lucky to have a key to the dern thing. ( the key is rather unusual, with the push button start) I have only one fear, she bought a black one. I hate trying to keep something like that clean. But I am glad Lexus has kept the bar raised up a notch against the competition. It is way bigger than the previous IS300 both inside and out, and way more responsive. My only complaint is that it does not fell glued to the road like the 300 did, I guess since it is bigger and sits a bit higher this may hold some of the floating feeling to blame. but even still I am in love. The interior has some of the coolest lighting of any car and the gauges are completely redone. This is something you should check out ASAP. thanks for reading my rant and rave. :lalala: :lalala:

Yeah, my neighbor bought his wife a black-on-black 350 last month - sweet indeed.
I'd never own a black vehicle, but it sure is nice.

at 80 , you can step on it, and it pens you in the seat and next thing you know your doing 120-130 and the speddo turns orange. gotta love it...

SciontCya 03-18-2006 02:13 AM

Until your license gets taken away... :)

trainman0978 03-18-2006 02:23 AM

Don't say things like that ... I live on a long rarely used 4 lane highway, and she has a good radar detector

SciontCya 03-18-2006 02:26 AM

Then I won't even start humming the theme from the movie "Deliverance" :rofl:

350
 
I work for Lexus and I can say that they are tons of fun to drive, amazing. Turn the TRAC off and it's evn better. Definately best car in it's class.

trainman0978 03-18-2006 11:25 AM

I kinda made her upset after turning the TRAC off and pushing the power button , and them smoking the tires till the rear end started sliding! ( and as far as deliverance goes, It is a new parkway, it is rarely used cause half of it is not finished. I live in a new house in new subdivision. )

LA-tC 03-18-2006 11:42 AM

:clap: nice indeed, however, u better hurry and put a 3m clear bra on it b4 it is 2 late. The paint on the IS is as BAD as the paint on the Scions......... :doh: I own a IS too. IF u still dont believe me, go check out the lexus forum on the web.
Also ur gonna hear a ticking sound from the engine but dont worry about it......
I wonder how u drive a box while yr girl drives a IS 350, oh yea go buy her a set of 18' BLACK rims for her and she might marry ya ........wahahahaaaaaa :P j/k

Hey LA-tC, my wife makes bank, and if you're smart, you'll find one that does too!
And nothin' wrong with a box - I have a tC, and I surely can afford a "better' car...

I didnt imply the box is a bad car, that was jus a simple thought, so chill man ur old enough to be my dad. Meanwhile im sure lots of 40+ who live in Pasadena/San Marino area can afford a way better cars.

mattssi 03-19-2006 12:38 AM

I'm hopgin to trade in the tC for a 250/350. can't wait!

Whoa boy. Don't go there. It was meant in jest, and your comment about my age is not needed.
Yeah, I can afford something better - the point was not to judge and you're doing just that.

Hey LA-tc, what do you do for a living, your car isn't much more than mine, and by the way how is life in mom and dads house, I don't think how I make money money or what I chose to spend it on is any of your bussiness. But since you asked I work for CSX Transportation, I live in a very nice neighborhood in a house that was built in september of last year. I make enough money to drive anything I want, especially with all the corporate purchase plans available to me through my job, I happen to like my scion and my girlfriend happens to like the lexus so she got one. Granted it helps that she works for a lexus dealership, but none the less, make your bed so mommy doesn't fuss. I know college is so tough. please, keep it friendly and so will I.

trainman0978 03-19-2006 05:03 AM

BTW, la-tc, If you wanna see one get in your IS 300 and drive to the dealer and look at one. I don't think it is neccessary, as a lexus key has been in my pocket every day for the past 3 years. It is a very cool car, but to me just another lexus. I am sure you think you are something with that car, but in cali, the IS300 is as common as an accord or silverado pickup. I will stop now.

OMFG i NEVER said it was my BUSINESS, seriously i don’t give an s h I t of what u do. Seriously, y'all people gotta stop showing off of what ya do, how much stash ya make and where ya live etc etc. This is an online forum, where ya can speak out your opinions/thoughts.
Well to answer yr question, NO I don’t have a mother or father……And YES C.E - Computer Engineering is tough in university and I’m pretty sure I will get a job in a big engineering firm than some no name transportation. And please don’t even compare Georgia to Cali. You’re jus unbelievable, why do u have to pick on my “mommy/daddy”. Is that what people like to do in Georgia?

You're talking like you're the one from Cali. No silverado is not even popular in here, acura, bmw and benz are common in LA .
