Default From M5/IS300 to IS-F
Recently sold my M5 and last week I traded in the beater IS300 for a low mileage IS-F. First impressions are great...car has all the luxury features that the M5 had, has plenty of pickup for a daily, and handling is pretty good out of the box. Gas mileage is a nice plus, coming from 9-10mpg in the M5

Now on to some mods (suspension, wheels, maybe some body CF pieces)

The M5 I sold

Yeah, I definitely love silver or white. I had a black supra a few years back, and as great as it looked right after a wash, it was impossible to keep it that way. I told myself I would never by black again just because it was too difficult to maintain.

I still miss the Supra and am looking around for a possible project car. A very high mileage stock NA hardtop would be perfect as a starting platform.
