Reason that I ask is because I'm not yet at a ripe enough age to be driven if you know what I mean. Is this along the same lines of reasoning that you got rid of it? Or just the opposite, i.e. mid-life crisis?

I sold my mkiv TT supra for the IS250. Quite a power drop!! 
but unfortunately, australia doesnt get the IS350. The IS250 is a great car...its a pleasure to drive.

Sold my 00' Honda Prelude Type S 
Miss it dearly. It had decent speed and the handling was barnone. Spent over 10k+ hooking everything up over the years as I went thru 3 paint jobs, the last paint job costed 2.5k. Miss the sound the most since I am not putting any aftermarket system into the IS.

2004 BMW 525I is being replaced by a 2006 IS 350 w/ Sports pkg, Nav/ML, Spyder rims, etc. I liked the drive and style of the bimmer, but it was a lemon and is being bought back. Since it was a lease, I'll get a fat check that I put down on the new IS. I'd rather buy/own a Lexus than a Bimmer, since I've owned Toyota in the past and never had any problems.
