So far so good, I love it! 🙂

It rained the first two days, thus the two rainy pictures. Thankfully, the weather has been excellent since then!

That's my mom. 😱 I had to take it and show her.

 
Must be a night and day difference between the two cars. I came from a 91 acura integra to my gs400 and I was just like "wow" the whole first month I had it.
 
I don't understand why people buy nice cars and then get the painfully boring silver over black/grey colors. Bleh.

I have this big, goofy smile on my face every time I sit in it. Amazing car, especially when compared to my 95 Saturn. Not that there is anything wrong with the Saturns, great cars and that one was great to me, but it was showing its age.

nice upgrade! how's the 5 speed? I just know they're hard to find.

VERY hard to find the 5-speeds. Took me months and finally had a Lexus dealer call me to tell me this one was off a lease. It sat at the dealership a total of 3-days before I took delivery. It shifts smooth and the clutch is great. Its mated to a great engine as well, the 2JZ-GE inline six. They make an excellent team!

No, it doesn't look cool. It looks boring, just like my mom's silver over grey Malibu. The IS300 came in a lot of good colors...

 
Nice car, and congrats on the purchase! 🙂 Don't listen to DougK62, I think the color looks great.

2JZ engine, no s**t ... 😛 😀

I know how hard it is to find one of those in 5MT. Everyone up here is gouging by at least 2-3K just for that feature. So,
