My wife and I took the IS to breakfast today. I’m even more in love than the first go round. On the way home we flipped to sport + mode, opened the sunroof, windows, cranked up the heat and blasted some tunes. Even the food tasted better today

So it’s 5:18pm. Is @wthrman2 on his second test drive? Or in the finance guy’s office? 😎

I know the dealer he was going to is like 4+ hours from him so he might still be enroute!
That suspense is killing!!

So the suspense is over....It's a GO!!!

I could not believe how much better the car looks in person (red interior and Enkei wheels!) - I still give a nudge to the OEM 350 wheels but as Shoeboy said, these wheels look much better in person. Even my buddy who disliked the pics of the Enkeis had to admit he loved them! The red, like seriously, why does it look SO MUCH better in person than in pics?!?! Regardless, the car is coming home - I am not going to post the details of the deal on the forum however, I am BEYOND floored on what the dealer offered me, like seriously, I am still in disbelief!

Macmaster - Well technically, I still don't own it as I haven't signed any paperwork yet but it will be done next week or so. I had to laugh though, I was half way home and realized I had the keys in my jacket pocket!! So I have the car keys at home but luckily, they have the other set at the dealer (lol) - I had offered to ship them back FedEx but since it will be coming home anyway, dealer said why would you even bother (lol)

giS - thanks buddy! I know, the IS 500 family is growing We now need to get one for DLPTony!!
