I rarely see RC models at all though. I've seen a couple of white ones around too.

2 others in my area One white one silver. The silver is lady owned and the white one is a younger guy. Both are clueless and don’t take care of their cars

I've only seen 2 IS-F so far and that was cruising in Fairfax and parked in Tysons. I spotted a couple of GS-F's in the Bethesda area but have yet to see one in NOVA.

Here in Nashville you see them frequently, maybe one a day, but things were different when I drove home to rural central Illinois. People stared at me like I was driving a spaceship!

I'm one of the new IS 350 F-Sport's driving around town now. I just picked up a 11k miles 2016 Nebula Grey Pearl with Rioja red interior. I'm coming from a 4Runner so I feel like I'm sitting on the road now. LOL! I haven't seen many IS's in the Rockville, Bethesda area. Now that I have one, I'll probably pay more attention. Everyone drives a Lexus SUV, BMW or Mercedes in this area. I think I already curb rashed my rear wheel because I'm not used to this car yet. Noooooo!!!!! Pulling out of Rockville Lexus no less! Grrrr!

I started a thread regarding getting used to the low seating, but it did not go over too well......
It is hard for me to get a feeling for curbs when turning right. I guess you were turning right out of the dealership :-)?
Don't worry about the curb rash, you can get it fixed.
Off topic: I was just down in your area (without my car). I like the MD brews, Heavy Seas, Jailbreak.

I see a 17' USB 350 and a 14' Obsidian 250, both F Sports, almost everyday on my way to work in Southern Virginia. I have also seen a handful of other 3IS non F Sports in the area as well. I do, however, see several 2ISs almost everywhere I go lol...

I've only seen two others where I live in California (Central Coast). A white 2017 is350 (non-f sport) and a black is250 (non-f sport) that is a few years old, not sure what year exactly but it's not a 2017. The 3IS seems pretty rare around me but there's quite a few SUVs
