I hope she wasn't driving the taco truck I passed on the inside while making a left turn onto Central from Mary.

You'll see me driving on the highway around Milipitas (work) all the way to Saratoga(home). 880, 85, 17, and sometimes 680. Black IS-F with 32% all around.

Ok, you converted a troll into a member with this thread.

There's two ISF's where I work in Milpitas. A matador red and my silver now ...

@sclx, I have to thank you... seeing you on 680 helped convince the wife to goto the dealer to take a look...

I'm up for a local get together! I have only seen a grey one where I live in Almaden Valley - that's all in the Bay Area, so would like to see others.

Jimpanzee - cool! Glad I could help. Geez, you could have waved me down and I would have let her take a test drive.

I purchased mine at Roseville Lexus at the end of January.

Default anyone ever get out to Santana Row on Saturdays???

There's a gathering of some awesome whips (from stock to exotics) out there every Saturday morning. I brought my (SGM) out there about a month ago and it suprisingly got a lot of attention even from the viper guys who thought the paint job was awesome-no dreaded "orange peel" effect trhat even some of the exotics have...

Yeah, my son has been trying to get me to go. He is there every once in a while with his Lotus Elise. He says there are Ferraris, Lambos, Corvettes, Panteras, etc - so quite an assortment. However, I would prefer to meet with a bunch of IS-F folks on our own - as that's what I'm interested in talking about.

Got mine from Pleasanton Lexus in March. Always great service from them.

Anyways, who wants to take the lead on getting a meet together? I would presume August would be great.

OK, I'll put a few dates forward.

How about Aug 2 or Aug 9?

As for places - I think we need to get a closer list of locations where people are so that we get something in the middle, or close to the majority. I live in Almaden Valley - about 5 miles south of Oakridge mall, if you need a landmark.
