Default First real drive

The weather was nice today, and i promised wifey to go to the home and garden show.

So out came the new IS 350 for a spin. After all, it doesn't like to sit in the garage.

what a smooooooth tranny.
My wife loves the buttery soft leather.( a much better quality than my '01 TL.

and here are some pix. sorry for the sun glare.
