By far, my favorite of the specialty builds! It also sounds freaking awesome to boot. 😍 #BlueCrew

Unless I’m at a meet up with the car club, I rarely see a 500. I do see more and more 2021+ IS models though and that’s pretty awesome! I get to see what others see when I zip past them. 😈

Oh…and the color is Infrared.

When I saw an Infrared IS 350 in person for the first time, I fell in love with the color. And here we are.

Incidentally, the very first time I saw an IS 500 outside of a car meet was also an Infrared car. I wish I had snapped a photo, but... you know, moving vehicle and all.

I don't think I've seen another IS 500 in the wild since I saw the Ultra White car in Baltimore. (I am excluding the one I saw at my local dealership when I was there for an oil change.)

90%+ of the time I show up in my Supra I am the only one there, Mark 1 through 4. Occasionally the unloved b#stard child Mk5 Zupra shows up but that's it. So far 100% of the time if I show up in the IS 500 I am the only IS period.

Back in KC, Lexus cars at meets were about as common as working ice cream machines at McDonald's. I went to a pretty large meet where I found only two other Lexus - one was a GS 400 with a "LOL V8" vanity plate. Very cool. The other was a completely bone-stock RC 350 F Sport. Both owners were pretty chill.
