I don't know whether to greet you or be annoyed that there are no pics (or any real information of substance).

For now, I'll stick with annoyed.

no pics yet, i'll put them up later when i can do the car real justice

i just got it yesterday from kearny mesa lexus

smoky granite exterior, black interior, no navi, only premium package, pretty much bare bones

i'm happy to finally get a car with mileage close to 30mpg. perfect for my commute plus this was the only lexus to let me get the $4500 government CARS thing. C300 doesn't qualify apparently.

quick question, why does the is250 shift so slow? I was playing with the shift paddles while on backroads and the car kept not loving me back.

also, what's the point of that little left arrow on/off right arrow thing under the interior light adjuster on the left side of the steering wheel? I was playing with it and it doesn't really do anything to be honest. I was just like, huh?

I told you i'd be annoying, i love to pick at little things.

i'm glad i'm not the only one that thinks that way because it really is a slow shift. I love the car tho. I got 29 mpg today on my commute. Freaking bow chicka bow bow...

Yup I tried out the paddle shifters on my IS350 like twice and was like eff this, I'll just drive it auto. Luckily the paddle shifters on the IS-F respond quickly, so it's much more fun!

it's being serviced, the rear right window goes down sporadically. It's been at the dealership for over 3 weeks.

Are they working on it, or just storing it? Either way, good luck.
