7

8

yup, thats when i first heard about this website. where’s the new lot btw? havent seen anyone there in a long time

9

beautiful car. i’ve always had a huuuuge soft spot for these. hope to see ya around

10

That lot tends to be the backup with the PRs stab someone.

typically people meet down in albany.

11

and check out what i was driving before in the background:

Welcome!

I’ve always had a soft spot for IS3’s. IIRC in 2001 they weren’t even offered in a manual, and in general do collect quite a premium when you do find one that doesn’t have the partial alphabet displayed on the dash with letters such as D,P,R.

We’ll see you at the cruise!

If you have any big plans for the car start a project thread and keep us updated. :thumb

13

:facepalm
you are out of control with these picture requests

OP nice looking IS, any wheel plans?

14

Wish I could afford to do both, but I decided to only put money towards stuff under the hood :). I’ll be starting a project thread in about a month hopefully.

15

i not only appreciate nice cars, i appreciate nice paint as well, man.

16

Lexus dropped the ball with making all their cool cars automatic

17

yea i know. didnt come in manual until 2002 and even then it was rare. oh well push button shift is better than straight auto

18

welcome…sweet car…
