Moving on to research reputable Atlanta area ceramic coating installers and maybe place a call to Buckhead Imports about exhaust.

I followed this reviewer when he bought the IS F. He adored this car and lovingly restored it. The process was uber-cool to follow and the next thing I knew, he sold the thing! He sold it for a Porsche, so that was annoying.
The overall review was decent. Was it me or did he misunderstand the ASC?

That looks like a press car- it has the oil cooler.

That is always cool to see, provided he is the owner of this LE - We have seen way too many videos of people abusing cars that aren't theirs....

Random guy: “Hold my beer!”
In all seriousness, the IS500 has been my first car purchase that the entire Youtube community is completely wrong about. Every single review I’ve seen makes it seem like the only good reason to get this car is because it’s a dying breed. Outside of that, this car is amazing and there are more reasons. I literally cannot walk away from it without turning around at least 3 or 4 times to admire it. I can’t walk up to it without taking my phone out and snapping some photos.

I don’t understand why the reviewers complain about the lack of ambient lighting. The cabin was lit up like a Christmas Tree as-is!
…but these damn tires do not hookup like my Michelins. At the rate I’m going, I should be at 5K miles come June 1st, perfect opportunity for Lexus to change the oil and the tires.

I agree, I can’t stop looking at this thing. Thought I was hyper into my 2016, but that was nothing compared to my love for the IS 500.
But what has carried over from my 2016 is the effect the Ultrasonic Blue has on random folks. Snapped a few quick pics today and this guy says: “Damn I’m blinded by the shine on that thing. Looking good!”
My car is filthy as hell (pollen and light rain make for nastiness), but people don’t see it.
It’s the craziest thing and my #1 reason to stick with it.

Words people say when they refer to my bald head!! LMAO
That being said, I agree, I have loved my 2015, 2017 and even my 2021 IS's but there is something about the IS 500 that is just soooooo special - I have always wanted a RWD and a V8 so maybe that is why I feel so excited that I have finally found the perfect car for me. I wouldn't have wanted any V8 or any RWD, but seeing that Lexus came out with this just a few years before my retirement is the perfect timing for me!
