Default A little Tribute

After almost 5 months of grieving I can get on here and do a tribute to my baby. It was taken September of 2010 and truthfully Ill post before and after pics. I did learn a lesson and I have advice to all the people that let someone who don't understand the power that is under hoods. Don't let them drive that car. Look at where it got me. Was my ex girlfriend .... yes its a Lexus. Am I done with the Lexus IS-F ..... no way! I'm already looking and hopefully soon things will calm down and I can go grab a new one.

Most recent and best:

Tough to swallow, especially from an ex-girlfriend.

Ouch! Sorry this had to happen. An ex is an ex for a reason, probably unrelated to the car's demise. But hopefully reparations will be received soon and a brand new F for you. I'm really glad your spirits are high. I'd be bummed even five months after this horrific incident. Better days to come, my friend....

Sorry for the loss. I dont know how it feels, but I can only imagine how angry I would have been with her.

On a side note... Was the car a total loss? Was the engine damaged?

Sorry for your loss man. For reasons like this, I don't let anyone drive the F without my supervision. It also took me a while to get used to 416 hp (coming from 140hp), I learned the hard way. The ISF is not a car for people that aren't used to that kind of HP. Good luck in finding another F.
