Lexus has created some very capable cars over the last 10 years, but so has the competition. Unfortunately not many owners take full advantage of it. There's something to be said when you can do 10+ trackdays without breaking parts too. Now that's reliability to me.
right on, brother. Represent Lexus and F sport

^^ I wouldn't think you would take them on a track. You're too smart to do that. Still that had to be A hoot!

no track time with the kids until they are tall enough to sit in the front and see over the dash. I do think it would be cool to take the entire family around. LOL We did sign a waiver for the kids when they were there so I guess we could have but we wouldn't . I look forward to sharing this with my son and daughter as they get older

We do make, what the kids call, BIG TURNS all the time. They call hard turns "BIG TURNS". We have fun . Recently I played a little cat and mouse with a S4 and when I passed the guy my 4 year old says " now thats what Im talking about !". My father in law ( was also in the car ) and I were crying laughing . I was so proud .

Hey guys I just sat down and looked at all the dates and compiled a list of dates and track I did to set this record. Im actually going to try to sit down and calculate how much it all cost. Tires, gas, track days, rotors, pads, tires, tires, tires lol tires, tires

Here is a list of the track events that I did after I purchased the car on 2/9/14


1. 4/5/14 Wild Horse Pass West Track

2. 5/31/14 Wild Horse Pass West Track

3. 10/11/14 INDE Motorsports Ranch

4. 11/15/14 Arizona Motor Sports Park

5. 11/24/14 Wild Horse Pass East Track

6. 2/7/15 Arizona Motor Sports Park

7. 6/20/15 Wild Horse Pass East Track

8. 8/5/15 Wild Horse Pass East Track ( Summer track addicts event )

9. 10/31/15 Wild Horse Pass West ( new HRE wheels )

10. 11/14/15 Arizona Motor Sports Park

11. 11/27/15 Wild Horse Pass Main/ Bondurant course

12. 2/21/16 Wild Horse Pass East Track

13. 3/19/16 Chuckwalla Valley Raceway ( California )

14. 3/26/16 Arizona Motor Sports Park



I think is something that we can all celebrate as ISF owners, F Fans, and F'ers.

My son always says, "Not nice, car!" when I rail a turn. He doesn't like his head bouncing off the bolster in the Recaro.

I have also taught him to say, "Just drive your car!" instead of "Get out the way, biotch!" He's only 31 months...

I love it !! It's fun with the kids in the car. I can tell my son still gets scared of the exhaust when I rev it in the garage. He just turned 4. Im sure you are excited to share all of the cool stuff you know about cars. Your brain is like a automotive google, Lance Dr F !!!! PhD STRAIGHT UP. God bless the family buddy .

Thanks , Mike !! you are absolutely right about that . Look at the 2016 schedule AND this is only Proauto. Between Proauto and NASA you could be out there every 2 weeks.
