You're a brave man, parking that way over parking curb.

That is pure luck!! I have had many subarus that sit higher than the IS500. So I never think about it. Just recently I skimmed a parking curb. I will be more careful in the future.

I feel you, I went from a tacoma to the IS. It was a little bit of a learning curve. I do appreciate the front facing camera for parking lot situations

How about some interior pics? Mine is at the JAX port facility and will be delivered someday...depending on the effects of the strike.

Here is a pic from the day when I traded in my 21 Cloudburst Grey IS350 for the IS500. I loved the Cloudburst colour, especially with the stock wheels the 350 came with, and a good tint job. But I figured since I was switching vehicles, switch up the colour as well.

::chuckling:: Good!

Great shot, but my eye immediately went to the curb. I was like, “DUDE! What are you doing?!” 😜

I'm just glad I don't have something lower like a Vette. I would have destroyed the bottom lip already. I'm actually surprised how many parking curbs that the front end will fit over. Then I skimmed one. Now I'm very careful not to get too close.

Looks good. You need to park in spot # 500 next time.

Thanks. Those wheels look good. My cloudburst has the black BBS wheels. They look good enough but thought something else might look better. I don't think I like the matte finish on the BBS wheels.
