So ironic...I was going to go there and most likely buy that same car ...but called and they said it had just been sold

So LEXUS of Queens should thank you so much because I also just picked up a 2010 ISF on Aug 31st in the same color (LOVE that USB!) because the one at Bobby Rahal was sold...

Congrats man and ,..Im actually so excited about my new 2010, Im kinda glad you bought that one.
but welcome to the F
Im still learning mine ...its the car Toyota should have built YEARS ago!
Thanks. Wow what a small world. I had put a hold payment on it like 2 days before you called. I guess lucky I did cause definitely a new one was out of the question on my budget.

Congrats on the new car. I love the look of the new all black navi setup and the new voice control is awesome so much better than the 08.

Definitely loving it though. Can't get over the sound of the V8. Everytime I need to make a pass on the highway I down shift to 4th just so I can hear it.

Haha I have one already and still seem to average about 1 a year which definitely doesn't help my insurance rate any. Might need to invest in a laser jammer and built in radar detector for the F as I am sure its not going to help the situation.

Whats a good laser jammer, you recommend? They have opened the flood gates for the use of lasers due to a guilty ruling a judge here near chicago made about a month ago and then i got my first laser ticket!

Not sure yet but just how quickly this car gets over the speed limit gives cause for concern and thus my possible interest. Haven't started looking into them yet but probably will soon.

Nice, where in PA are you?

From the central PA area although currently living in Charlotte, NC working a Co-op that hopefully might turn into a full time position.

Thanks. Nah no jumping ship but rather gaining another haha. Yeah I have already seen how nice they can look and I love it. Only problem is mods for the F cost about 4x as much as the TSX and thats counting having been importing lots of high end JDM parts for the TSX. 10-15k invested on a TSX would buy a ton of mods however on an F from my calculation it would buy very little. Not that I plan to put that much into the F in the first place.

In videos numerous times and it already makes me want one. However I have not heard one in person yet which I am sure will make it even worse. Crossing fingers I can at least make it through 2010 without doing anything besides the NAV box since I hate not being able to have a passenger enter direction while moving or to use track listing while driving.

Too late... I saw the thread!!!


Congrats on your IS-F purchase...


I love mine as a daily driver as well.
However, keep in mind that its not the best daily for when it snows in PA...

Now moving onto the Rear wheels.

The are mounted on the wrong side.
So when you have a chance go back to the dealership and have them correct the problem.
(or you can do it)

Each wheel is specific to: FL, FR, RL & RR

Also, just before they do a simple swap, make sure you do not have directional tires.
Otherwise they will need to do a dismount, remount & rebalance of tires.

Best Regards,

Joe Z
