This ISF may be too exciting for me.

Maybe too much fun, lol.
I gotta learn to be very careful with my right foot.
Traded two in. An '02 SC430 and an '08 RX400h.
Not sure if I'm 'mental' or not.
Old farts are the best farts! Congrats!

Before I bought this car, I had plopped my bum in a few F-Sport cars and quickly realized that my backside was too wide for the seats.
So after dropping 30lb, I can now get in. Another 20lb reduction is in order to fit right.

Here's a pic of my 'Noisy Nova' a 1969 Nova Marine 24 Sprint.
Twin Holman Moody 351's. V-drives.

Engine bay looks great! Back in the day I had a 21' Donzi w/Merc (I think Cobra?). Can't say I miss the money pit...

Wow, nice boat.
I think you're mental enough.

Both more fun than should be allowed.
Welcome from another old fart. I ordered a Z-28 back in 1978. Your Z-28 was a lot better than mine. Our IS-F's are better than either of those!

How very true. They were fun for their time.

I think I'm a bit older than you
In 1968 I was driving a '67 GTO, modded of course. Next came a '70 Mustang Boss 302. The F reminds me of neither of those.
