Congrats and welcome to the family!

So how do you like the Lexus as compared to the BMW?
My friend is kind of the opposite. He converted from Lexus to BMW.

Thanks for the comments guys. In case you're wondering, I'm 19. I live at my dorm at the University of Illinois during the year but am now back in my parents' house in the NW suburbs of Chicago for the summer.

Its handling isn't as good but the car rides much more comfortably. Seeing as how I don't live near a track and use my car for driving to school (3 hours one way), this fits my priorities.

So what's this mod bug stuff? Is that when you decide to put some tint on your car and before you realize it the only thing left stock is the interior?

Welcome to CL. I hope your IS350 is ready for Chicago winters. My GS and RX sit in the garage during winter while my Camry does the hard stuff.

Ah I see... That's what I've heard.
I think the Lexus luxury is worth it. I just love the leather and interior of our car. It's so much classier and more comfortable than a limo's leather. (No joke... The limo leather isn't that great lol. Interior quality isn't up to par either. Only good thing for the limo is that it fits more people.)

Hahaha... Close, but like others have said, who leaves the interior stock?
You got lots of options... I personally am loving the VIP style b/c of the luxury and over the top comfort lol.

Dang, smart independent kid here.. Work, saved up money and bargain for what you wanted.. NICE!!! Welcome to the family of all ages.. But just be ready when the BUG flu comes around, its really cruel and hopefully your pockets are super deep.. Spend some time on the vendor classifields and hopefully you can learn to save and spend your money the rite way.
