Default IS-F's everywhere

I'm not feeling as rare as I use to having an IS-F... Is that a good thing or bad?

An Obsidian IS-F parked next to me @ Mall of Georgia Saturday.

A saw a Mica IS-F today leaving work @ Mall of Georgia also...


Jeez... they're everywhere!!

I picked mine up about a week ago and I haven't seen any others in Dallas. I have had 4 people come up to me and ask me about the car in the week I have had it. Love it.

I had a couple of guys taking pictures with their phones today. One from behind, and then they came around to my left side for a profile shot.

It is a $60k Japanese car, it is not a Bugatti, what do you expect?

It is still A LOT more rare then a M3, where in my neighborhood, there are M3 in every street corners, I see 10 M3s in my 15 minutes commute everyday.

You think IS-F is everywhere now, wait til next year, it is only gonna get worse.

is-f is nothing like a limited production car, you shouldn't expect your car to be "rare" anyway. just a matter of time before they are "common"

Funny, you wouldn't think that after hundreds of people over the last year have stopped me, hollard at me, come up to me commenting on how sweet the car is, how cool it looks, what kind of model is it etc. Momma always said supercar is as supercar does!

I'm just saying... I like to still look a bit rare on the road... I guess it still is, just seeing more than I have ever back to back was a "WTF" moment.

I saw two F-430s at a Ralphs parking lot in So Cal last year............does that mean they aren't rare? No one cares, F's are sick and as production years pass........so to will the increase in spottings around the globe!

I've seen plenty running around my neighborhood, as a matter of fact saw a USB this morning in traffic.

Usually get my Lambo/Ferrari/GTR fix on Sundays out here in the valley, nice to see the exotics and the sick amount of money people have.
