Korean bowls noodles are expensive! You can buy a 50 pack of instant noodles for 10 bucks...the bowls are like 10 bucks for 8 bowls or something...

Korean bowl noodle = high roller...not for me

Korean Noodle Bowls = High class of noodles. You can't afford high class noodles while being on a budget! But I'm going on be on those cheap noodles soon too when I get an ISF. Lol.


On the side contrary, I'm jotting notes on what NOT to do when purchasing my first ISF. :P

So far:
[x] Don't buy a car in the rain.
[x] If priced too low, something's GOT to be wrong with the car.
[x] Don't buy IS250 / IS350.
[x] Wait it out for the right color and don't buy a different color just because it's a bit cheaper because you'll regret it in the long run. (I actually knew this on my own because I'm just that picky).

I wish I woulda waited for the 2011 since it has a revised suspension that is slightly softer.

I'm glad I got a 2011, but this is my third black car in a row and I need to stop because of the swirls ruling my life!

I test drove and shopped around for close to 2 years. 2011 ISF is the perfect car for me after I decided to keep my S2000 as a weekend car I inspected every inch of the car including the underbody, spare tires....etc, and she was perfect. Yesterday I decided to give her a wash and a detail for summer, thats when I noticed a few paint chips, a scratch mark and a few minor blemishes.

My only regret is not hand washing the car at the dealer before I bought it. Now that I think about it, I doubt they will let me even if i asked

I have an 02. S/Ced. Its a blast to drive...just not all that comfortable, hence taking the F.

My only regret, that although it would be crazy small, I really wish the back row had a middle seat... with 3 kids, 11, 9 and 6, I would make use of it if it was there....
