Congrats and welcome! A nice long road trip is a good way to get acquainted with the car. Where in NW FL are you located? I'm in Gainesville. There's a Club Lexus meet in Orlando in October.

Thanks everyone! It was a nice ride home - actually a much better experience than the flight and train ride there. There was a lot of rain both days, but I was able to visit some family in DC that I haven't seen in a long time.

@edgeucated I agree! I actually bought my 370z off of their forums which turned out to be great. I only got rid of it because I just wanted something a little more practical to drive. I wasn't originally planning on getting an IS-F but am very glad I did since it definintely surpasses the Z in every area. I know a lot of people might like the looks of the Z better but I love the styling AND rarity of the F.

@VtotheJ Naid is an awesome guy and a true car nut! He's owned 20 cars in the past 16 years and the according to him IS-F is one of the few he would keep forever if he could. So far I believe him!

@GriMan you are right that is the s4play diffuser. Wrapping the lower rear bumper as others have done is one of my plans and I'm hoping to do it this week if possible. We'll see!

@G9N I'm actually in Panama City. Maybe I can make it to Orlando in October, we'll see! I'm driving down to Key West this weekend to visit family living there so I'm looking forward to another long road trip.

@Sello It was in Stamford so I was very quickly into NY and NJ once I was on my way. The car was right at 11k and he wasn't taking it out daily.

Congrats! Beautiful car.

During my F search, I exchanged emails with Naid about purchasing the car. He said he had a buyer (you, obviously) and so I looked elsewhere and eventually found my 2011.

Thanks! Its been an awesome 9 months since I picked the car up. I've already put three times the miles I put on the 370 the entire time I owned it. After holding off for a while, and only doing a few minor, inexpensive things, I'm also finally gearing up to do the mods I'm interested in.
