Default Saw My 1st IS-F On The Road

Traveling south on route 95 last night I spot a Lexus in the high speed lane.

I'm going about 75-80 and this car just flies past me.

I didn't know at the time which IS it was so I creeped up and lo and behold it was the IS-F.

Well he decided to scoot and boy does that car have some acceleration.

From about 80 to ?? and he was gone. Weaving in and out of various lanes and then......gone!

I always see a pretty white one fly past my office when I am leaving work for the day. Nice looking car.

You guys must be living in depressed areas. There are at least 3 of them at my company alone.

I see an F everyday at the casino I go to in San Bruno. Either this guy's a baller or works there.

Well go figure, I just stopped by a local restaurant and parked next to a black IS-F. Second "F" in under 24 hours.

Up to now never saw one.

For some reason I've been seeing more Fs than M3s or C63s. I've only seen 2 M3s, 2 C63s, but probably over 10 Fs in my area. Maybe I'm seeing the same 2 over and over again.. ha ha

Have only seen maybe 5 ISF's, a ton of M3's and have yet to see a C63. They are really hard to get in Chicago right now and I dont know where all the bought ones are hiding.

Hey, I saw DRE1615's tungsten pearl IS-F for the third time the other day! Looking good... Too bad I was in my minivan with the wife and son. Besides his, I saw another one today at about 1:00 p.m. on 53 Southbound just south of Lake Cook Road - I was wondering what shiny flashy black car just went by and low and behold, it's another black IS-F (like mine). I gotta say, our IS-Fs look pretty damn good!

I'm gonna put back my "beater" 18" rims next month to start preparing for the drag racing season (Oct, November for me).
