I used my moms for my first car when I was 16, '01 GT with a 4v Cobra engine. 24 vehicles later I've yet to. But I didn't know he doesn't even have one. I've been members on forums in the past, but only for cars I have. Lol.

His forum history is nothing but "humble-bragging" about how he is 17, all the Lexus vehicles his family owns (or has owned), and indecision on the car(s) he should buy, at the age of 17.

At least the 15 cars aren't listed in his signature anymore.

Just like how at the end of last year he "ordered a white IS 300 F Sport", then a week ago (in this thread) said he had an Ultra White IS 300 F Sport, and then a couple days ago posted the car he appears to have actually ordered, the blue 300.

But, looks like he actually placed an order few days ago... https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...r-details.html

Good for him. 17 & rolling in a Lexus. I was rolling in a 1994 Mazda Protege when I was 17 lol.

Yeah, that's the post I was talking about.

From a 94 Protege to a 16 IS in 6 years is a good move man, congrats. I bet the memory of the POS Mazda adds a great deal of pride of ownership toward the IS.

Now that we've had my wife's IS for 10 months or so, I am getting a bit tired of it. She still loves it, but it's just not that fun to drive. We had a Q50 3.0T rental car for a month and it was a total hunk of crap, but if you punched the accelerator that thing MOVED. I contacted Rafi @ RR Racing about their chip... Maybe that will make things more interesting =)

Oh yeah, the Mazda was a chick magnet in High School *sarcasm* lol. It was a sht green color lmao. But, it ran strong until it finally died, lasted 20 years with the fam. Still remember taking this thing to my senior prom. Sad that it was time for it to go

I have a IS350 FSPORT for little over a year, its still fun to drive for me, makes good power, handles great, pulls strong for a DD. I've upgraded the exhaust, and added a few mods to make it more VROOOM.

Infiniti Q's makes good power, especially the red sport ones. But, imo, their styling is bland inside and out. =\

Love all the replies - quite a cross section of ages here. Didn't expect to see so many towards my end, let alone 70's and 80.

Will be the big 50 this summer. Just got a 16 200t F-Sport in August. First car was a 78 Celica when a cassette deck with an FM radio was a cool option. The Lexus is a far cry from those days.

I'm hoping that my real mid-life-crisis car will be a "used enough to afford it" LC 500h in 3-4 years.

Bought my first Lexus the other week (2013 IS300h). I've been a Lexus enthusiast for the past 6 years, though. I'm 27.
