Hey all! Nathan here and my ISF is getting delivered by Carvana on the 23rd. Sold my 2015 Tundra to get the ISF. To say I am excited is an understatement. No accidents and only 60K miles. Just wanted to say hello and I will get some actual pics once she is delievered! I have been lurking through here the last month trying to get as much info about the ISF, things to look for and which year to grab.

I grew up in the Honda scene and built a few of those. My wife and I moved from Washington to Texas last year. She has a 2015 4Runner and I bought the Tundra because when in Texas.... Since then I realized I am just not a truck guy. It was fun for a while but then 11 MPG and terrible turning radius started to make me miss cars in general. So here I am! Hope to get to know you all and learn from the large amount of knowledge on this site.

Its a Mercury Metallic (I believe thats right) 2011 that Carvana will be delivering on the 23rd. 3 previous owners and 60K miles. I am like a kid at Christmas checking everyday to see if I can bump up my delivery date! HAHA

The Tundra was a 2015 and it was like 11.6..I always said it was a V8 with V10 gas mileage. Great truck except for the mileage and the turning radius.

Those are 2011 wheels on a 2012. Somebody sold them for a pretty penny. They were much more rare than either of the original designs.

I did pick it up used (obviously, I guess 🤷‍♂️), and didn’t know too much about the ISF beforehand. I’m a fan of the wheels though so I guess I lucked out

2008 Ultra Sonic Blue ISF track car.
Moonroof but going Carbon Roof soon
103k miles and climbing every month at the track
IG: joemracing

Happy to post more about the car if people want to know, but this car is pretty famous on this forum already I feel.

Been lurking here for a while but here's what I got:

Matador Red Mica 2008 ISF
Nav/ML
Black interior - coming from an IS350 with the tan headliner it looks much better!
It pretty much has everything other than the adaptive cruise I believe
Clean title
Pics coming soon
Sunroof
USDM

Had the car for a little over a year and put well over 30k miles on it in that timeframe. For context, I put about 40k on my IS350 in a little under 5 years with that car. The F is just too much fun

Yo! after a year of window shopping, i finally pulled the trigger and got my F about two days ago. So in love. 08' Mercury Metallic w/ ML and Nav, bone stock (for now). Black interior and sunroof. 3rd owner, and its been maintained very well. No rips, tears, or butt cheek imprints on the leather seats (when I was looking, i saw a few that had cheek imprints). Came with a carbon fiber hood that was surprisingly in great condition. In the US (VA), and one "accident" where they slid on some ice into a curb but the damage was minimal.

Took it to the Lexus dealership today and that was an experience that let me know I have arrived into a whole different class. So glad i'm here. I find myself, when i'm driving, thinking people know what it is and understand its capability, then remember it looks like a regular sedan...until you put it in sport mode and let it cook.
