my 08 is350 replaced my jdm hid front 95 integra ls with jackson racing supercharger. Car never left me stranded once since i bought her new, almost did on the last day of ownership when the idler pulley bolt broke and had to drive with no supercharger power or alternator for 65 miles. Also, this car is being added to the collection of cars I already own, a 91 mr2 turbo i've owned since new.

My beloved 94 Acura Nsx! 122K too much fun miles. Just sold it so I could get a more "familyish car". But still wanted some power and not too big sedan so ended up with the IS 350. But I enjoy my new toy and never looked back. Here is a pic of my baby.........now some 19yr old kid in OC, CA is enjoying her Friends say I was crazy or just gettin old..... I said both... till they rode with me in my new IS.
PS: I like my low key sprinter now....I get a lot less "hater looks" at the lights now. With the IS they dont know what just zipped pasted them.

Traded in my 07 Acura TL-S. Here's a picture of her the day I brought her home...

Don't ask me why I got rid of it after a year, never had any problems with it other than it had a lot of rattles, it was time for new brakes, air cleaner, tires, and the left front fog light got busted out by flying debris on the freeway... I had the opportunity to get my 08 IS350 and I jumped on it. So far, the car has got better fuel economy, much smoother ride, and probably about the same performance.

Very happy with my new ride. I also like to change things up a lot. What can I say, I get bored.

This is what I had before that, 2005 Ford F150 Lariat Supercrew

Im looking at the poll where it says "My first car". Those 34 people are super lucky to drive an IS for a starter car.

2003 Audi A4, which I feel is a better driver's car. Lexus is more eye-candy and high-tech, which makes up for most of it (I am not complaining). Had to get something asap due to Audi being totaled and the new A4 not out yet.
