Default Finally got my IS F - and it's snowing.

It was delivered last night - just in time for the weekend and 4" of snow. So it will stay with its new garagemate, my old 1990 LS400 for the time being.

Can't wait for summer.

Congratulations.. I know the feeling.. I bought mine on Jan 30 and it has spent more time in the garage than on the road since. It will end up as my DD when I sell my IS350, but I'm trying to keep it as clean as possible till this spring.

Thanks, all. And thank you for helping me decide on the car, extended warranty, and such.

I believe it'd be good in snow with the right tires - but if you look at my garage, where would I store the summers?

My poor old Focus will still be daily driver (poor as it just got kicked out of the garage into the snow).

I think it's cool to have the first Lexus sedan (which I still absolutely love) and the fastest Lexus sedan both in my stable. Can't wait to get some nice photos of them together. Strange to think that old LS used to be considered a large car. It's longer than the IS F, but they're almost the same in all other dimensions, including weight...

Everyone have a great weekend - I know I'll be smiling!
