OK, this one is a bit much.

Well, maybe not the ones whose parents bought the car for them like the person who drives it to high school.

Sweet deal -- I'm going to go smack my Dad for not being wealthy when I was growing up....

These fortunate, yet very few. Represent a very small percentage of the bell shaped curve dominated by the upper echelon of 18-35 (25-35 more like it) year old IS owners. then again this is just a well educated guess stemming from recent surveys, polls, hear say, word of mouth, and what I see with my own 2 eyes. Even then, we're talking about people who went to the dealership, got their own credit checked out, and put their own payments down. If you consider who is actually purchasing these cars, that being the parents, you can then say that the parent(s) fit into the "middle aged w/ disposable income" group as well.

Your gray hair makes the younger set do a double take!

Whoops what about us old fossils that have an IS? Just remember all you young professionals - old age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill

When it takes me long to walk from the parkinglot to the entrance.

When I scuff the wheel and feel like my life has ended.

When I look back after locking the car and admire.

There's nothing like looking over your shoulder and admiring your car in a parking lot. It's something I haven't done since my IS300 was totalled, and something I can't wait to be able to do again.

I have no desire to look over my shoulder at the 325i I'm currently driving.
