You want something that stands out, but don't want to get the cop's attention? If you get something that stands out, the cops are gonna be amongst the people that notice you.


My girlfriend thought my IS350 was a camary T_T and just doesn't like riding in the Z4 M
What kind of ride is your girl pushing that she too good to be seen in a Z4?

It sounds like you're unhappy with these two cars. If I were you, I would just get rid of both of them and buy something else.

If you're trying to stand out, wait for the new SRT10.

Seriously, save the 100k, invest it, sell the Z4 M and the IS, and get a C63 or something. Or give all three to me.

i say go with a 1965 Shelby 427ci cobra or cobra kit car, this will definatly stand out and you'll have about 40K leftover to spend on buying a life!

Invest, you wont regret it. if you really want a new car sell the IS and/or Z4 and get something else with what you get...

s2k? 350z? from my experience chicks dig those both

You have some interesting taste for a kid with money...... may i ask why you decided to buy the IS when obviously you could have gotten something else?

If his parents are willing to drop almost 200k in cars at 16, he's probably set for life and doesn't need to invest it. I would go with a 911 turbo or an r8.

I am not going to deny that I am envious, but I think I'd only want to live your life for maybe a couple of months. I'd get my kicks driving some nice cars, screw some superficial hot girls who are drawn to the cars, etc. But after that, I think I'd be bored. You've got $200K worth of cars at 16. What do you do at 18? You're not rich enough to afford a jet, and Ferrari won't sell you their latest model unless you wait 3 years.... So you're "stuck" with the latest BMW, MB, Porsche, etc, which is great for the rest of us, but for you, it's been there, done that...

I don't know where I'm going with this, but I'm thinking... you already have two fantastic cars. Do you really need a third, or should you use that money to pick up another hobby, travel to gain some perspective, or heck, help 10 families get a used car they desperately need... I know you didn't ask what to do with your parents' money, so I guess this is O/T. sorry.

(BTW: at $100K, given the crowd you likely hang out with, the only car that'll make you stand out is a Chevy Malibu or Honda Odessey).
Lolz, this kid is either bsing cuz he's bored or he needs to just go buy whatever he wants with his $100k instead of bragging on Lexus forums. Why does he even have an IS anyway? If I was born rich I'd be driving Ferraris and Lambos, not one of the cheapest Lexus models.
