Shoeboy - Wow, they do look alike don't they? Maybe the car comes with the wheels?!?! (lol) All joking aside, you couldn't catch me in a car like that...Lambo =/= (not equal sign) country music.

I mean how the hell would I fit my cowboy hat in there, and trying to get out with my chaps would not be good!

I appreciate looking at exotic cars but they do not call my name --- I heard Carolina does however

But idk man. I love how the Enkei’s look as I’ve already seen them in person, but I absolutely love the black bbs wheels and the carbon fiber spoiler on my 350 DHP. In all honestly, it’s a crime to not include the CF spoiler on the 500

Lmao. I’m due for my first fill up of gas tomorrow and I’m dreading that moment lmfao. I’m going from a Corolla that got 30+ MPG on Regular Gas to a IS350 that is getting 21 MPG on Premium Gas. Gonna have to start selling leg pics again

I mean the same will apply to the V8 for me but meh, it's just money!! But yeah, I have refreshed my paypal account so start posting and I'll start paying! (LMAO)

if you all would like to know about the lady who ran the intersection and hit myself and my wife while we went out to celebrate the purchase of my dream car, with 28 miles on it. Just ask. It’s been a really tough time for us. We’re out of the hospital now. I’m trying to find a replacement but it seems everyone now wants adjusted markets and I’m not willing to after all that what we’ve been thru to get fleeced.

we’re out of the hospital now. My wife and I were celebrating the delivery and going out to lunch. A lady ran the intersection and hit us head on.

Glad to hear that you and your wife are doing well. From the damage it looks like it was a very serious impact so it’s good to see the car keep you both safe. At the end of the day, material items can be replaced. It’s odd that you’re finding them with markups. More and more members are getting that at MSRP as they sit on dealer lots longer

gIS - OMG, I am so sorry to hear about your accident but relieved you are both well which is the most important thing!! I never dreamed that it would have been of "us" here on the forum - My stomach just fell when I heard it was you I hope you can find a replacement - I can't understand how people can go through these intersections, so many distractions with drivers today

Be well and I hope you will both make full recovery - I truly hope you will be posting pics of your new IS 500 LE again soon!!!

EDIT _ I hope other forum members will all pitch in to try and find you a replacement without market adjustments - Maybe your dealer can help you make something happen too
