Default Got my IS 350

Just got my IS 350 last night. Matador Red, black interior, luxury with nav. package. Had a blast driving it home last night. Just took a few pictures to share with you guys. It's going to be a steep learning curve to figure out the technology in this baby. I have the 17" winter wheel / tires on now, I didn't even see it with the summer 18's since it is already below freezing here. Enjoy.

Looks great! Congrats. I will be needing to get those wheels for winter soon. How much were they or did the dealer throw them in the with the car? Are they staggered?

I'm embarrassed to say that I paid MSRP for the winter package which means it was too much money. But I paid for the convenience and that fact that I don't think I could have arranged to have the wheel/tires ready for delivery of the car. The fact that the weather is turning so cold here I didn't want to take a chance without them on the car upon delivery.

The wheels are staggered I think since they are the OEM 17's, someone here can correct me if I'm wrong about that.

The gadgets are intimidating in a way. The navi can do so much it is hard to comprehend at first. It's almost distracting while driving how much is going on in the car!

I am very happy with my choice of colour, couldn't be better. I am getting to understand why you guys love your cars so much now that I have one.

Yes red is the fastest and that's the problem when you're trying to break in the engine...
