Talking New to the IS world

Well I have been here at CL for a long time. Me and my wife has decided she needed a new car and have just purchase a new fully loaded (no ML though) 08 IS250 (I wanted the 350 but she isn't a speed demon like me, LOL). Will post up some pics later on tonight.

I'll surf some before asking stupid questions.

LOL, I'm not new. Was a mod at one point for the LS forum.

Wifey wanted a small luxury car. BMW is ugly to her, Audi is a branch of VW and she hates my VW, and MB looked great but for some reason she liked the Lexus better. Plus, we got a great deal on it.

Wife won't let me touch/mod the car. But from what I understand is no ML=no DVD movies on the nav. Guess I'm gonna have to secretly figure this out.

P.S.: I know my grammer sux. Always have and more then likely always will.

LoL!!! I'm in the same boat with you man!!! I had to make some kind of agreement just to put a kit on the car. Well....gonna be worth it!

Oh.....I got an excuse to help you out. If you gonna try get the Nav+DVD Screen you can just say there was a recall and Lexus is giving out free ML too compensate the "BIG" problem that the ISx50 are having?! LoL!!! Not sure if that will work since your not gonna have ny proof.
