I had a pimp is300. Loved it. Miss it. big old step down to the tC, but each has its own place.

It was turbo, and yellow (because yellow is fast)

Just picked up a new Black Onyx IS250 AWD. I love this car. I was debating between the BMW 325i and the Lexus IS250 AWD.

The BMW was very nice. Felt more responsive and more like sports car type.

The Lexus however IMO was more luxerious, has better reliabilty results, and a great warrenty. Not to mention there arent many on the road yet. Every where I look I see the 325i.

Any recommendations on what % of tint I should get?

So now I have 2 nice rides:

2006 Supercharged Scion TC
2006 Lexus IS250 AWD
Soon to come 2006 Corvette

35%

BTW, Nice choice. Personaly, the awd auto was pretty slow and would get to me. Unfortunately, thats all they have here. 6 speed 250's and 350's are hard to come by here in Detroit.

35% was what I was thinking also.

Yea I agree the IS250 AWD does need more power, but I wasent getting the car for that. Thats what the upcoming Vette is for! I traded in a POS 2004 PT cruiser so this is a HUGE improvement over that. No complaints coming from me!

The only thing I didnt like was that if you wanted the car built a certain way the waitng would of been months. So I was stuck with what the dealerships had in inventory. I did get lucky though cause they had what I wanted.

I agree with your gripe on the custom cars. I needed something ASAP and they tell me 3 monhts...umm. damn them.

What are the 3 rides for? I need a garage like that

Yea I know I am fortunate. My wife was the one who really wanted the lexus so being a good hubby I hooked her up. Oh did I say I hated the PT Cruiser! I dont know why I got that in the first place
