Nah, I'm in Boise. Hopefully there will be a couple IS 500 enthusiasts here too !! But at some point will definitely take the IS on another Oregon coast trip.

Here is the shifting video, I tried my best but I don't have a fancy tripod.

It does shift much faster once the transmission is warm or if you use the gear lever & not the paddles.

Definitely slower than the ZF, but you're also not close to redline where the transmission will shift faster.

What does it mean when the car shows fuel? Offloaded at port?

I'm working my way through this thread from most recent post to older and I haven't seen a photo of the car's rear. Is it because no one likes the rear of the car?

Yea probably. Still got a while longer at port though (mine has been there for more than a month).

It varies port to port. Jacksonville appears to have the lowest lead time. Mine arrived on 12/19, was processed 12/23, and is expected to be delivered by 1/3 at the latest.

I'm honestly wondering if something happened to the exact car under my name.. my dealer already sold a LE IS500 last week, while mine was allocated first. Sigh.

Hmm I think so. Mine was supposed to have both side and trunk light-up sills, but now it only has the side sills in the system. Maybe they're waiting for the trunk sills to come in?? HMMMMM

Not sure if it does, but if it matters, mine has the illuminated door sills and the all weather floor mats with trunk tray as PIO

Already picked up my LE but here's a pic where it was at the dealership before tinting.
