WOW quite an accomplishment to have Lexus recognize you like this (can't blame your neighbor, a beautiful car such as yours can only spike one's interest). Only a triple O.G. gets this kind of honor. Congrats.

Anyway, this guy must be retired or something cuz all he does is look out his window day and night and stare at me or my wifie driving one of our Lexi in and out of the garage. We just moved here 2 months ago, so we haven't met him, but I heard from others that he was asking info about us. Geeze. !
You know what your nosey neighbor is thinkin' everytime you pull into the garage: "There goes the neighberhood..." We all have them. I'm actually grown to appreciate mine....I leave my front door unlocked half the time because I know he's always 'watchin'. And he's home 95% of the time. LOL So I feel like my house and my cars are well protected....because he knows EVERYone in my cul-de-sac.

I was very fortunate and honored to be invited by Lexus to put my car on display along with I’m sure some other member cars TBA.
And we're lucky and honored to have you with us here in CL. The car looks great...and your hardwork has paved the way for many of us.

With Toyota being the Key Sponsor of SEMA this year, it looks like they are pulling out all the stops. I have heard there will be about 70 cars representing Toyota, Lexus & Scion at the event. Also for those who don’t know, all SEMA attendees will be able to test drive the ISF on a closed course at the show.
Wow! Do a powerslide through turn 3 for me please!

I ‘m waiting anxiously to see what other CL members are representing at SEMA.....
me too, man, me too...

We also got to drive the GS & LS600 Hybrids, plus the IS350 on the track, with no limitations. I tell ya there's nothing like drifting an LS600HL sideways through turn 4 ! : )
Wow, how fortunate you have been, really. I'm jealous and proud all at the same time.

Believe me Toyota/ Lexus has it right, they are listening to the core enthusiast market.
I'm excited for Lexus' future...and excited for us who drive and love them. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Yeah yeah yeah.....

The real question is what does the Toyota Rig do in the 1/4 mile?

Just kidding, thats good poop RMM. Sure keep it nice and clean. You know, many times I look at mine and say nah, Ill just give it to pops and get me a new car and then pics come up of yours and others on this site. Then i go nah...I'll keep her and do just a little more.

looking at your car and the amount of work that you put into it, I can see why toyota would want you to represent. What an honor!! Good luck at sema and I hope that everything goes well.

That my friend is too too nice to have that truck come down your block and park in front of your door. The car too is a beauty as well. What time of the day did this happen? Were any of your neighbors around when the truck came? If so, they probably had the ooh's and the aahh's and had questions.

Looks like we will only be able to "drive" the IS-F at SEMA on a dyno. I guess that makes sense as it would have been tough to get enough parking lot space adjacent to the convention center for any kind of a test drive. Oh well, at least we'll get to here what it sounds like under hard acceleration.
