^ I wish!! Used to have an old lifted truck and I missed being high off the ground. Since I'm in socal, I decided I could use a Jeep to go to the beach, and do a lot of offroading!

For those who don't know, we see plenty of rain over here!![Sad](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/sad.gif)
Fortunately the car is garaged during the week (I use a train to get to and from work in London), and when it does rain, the water doesn't go near any electrics or components that will cause any issues.
Top tip is to pop the hood after its rained to dry off any water spots. That way it won't Mark your strut brace or engine covers.![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Plus, I decided to pull out of storage my old 1993 Legend Coupe 6-speed to restore it, so I now have a back-up option to use if it's raining heavy here and don't want to use the IS F with vented hood in the rain.
I'm in no rush though, so I'll just wait till one of the pioneers decides to sell their hood (a.k.a. any of you guys who've already pulled the trigger)

This Lex' is Pure Sex: One F-in' Mean Lexus IS

With a 416-horsepower 5.0-liter V8 under its hood, the IS F became Lexus' most aggressive and focused four-door. Forum member <em>joshhleee</em> found ways to take it even further, though. His Smoky Granite Mica 2010 IS F is proof of that.
