    Congrats, thats a nice car you've got there. But like NSX said, I don't like how the 350 is auto only... I wonder why they did that.
    i was waiting on a moment, but the moment never came. all the billion other moments, were just slipping all away. i must have been tripping, we're just slipping all away. just ego tripping.

    Sorry about the delay guys. I FINALLY found that stupid camera cable in the most obscure of places... The pics aren't very good and I'll try to get better ones when I go out for a drive one day - but for now, these will suffice I suppose.

    (btw, bluey the dealer guy told me to "flog it" from day one, and while I haven't been babying it as much as I could, I obviously haven't red-lined it or anything )

    G'day folks! Just decided to snap some quick shots of my car today. Enjoy!

    (PS. Yes, yes I know... you don't have to tell me that the stock 16" wheels are small. I may get around to getting a new set some day. )

    Just in case you were wondering, the last pic here is of the programmable orange lights that come on once you exceed a predetermined rpm (or speed). Sorry it's really blurry though.

    Put some black rims with a chrome lip on it and it will be 10 times better. Some fat, wide tires also.
    Real cars are not FWD.
    FWD at it's best -

    Very nice, the brakes are looking pretty large, I think the only thing the car can possilby be missing is some wood inside, the dials look awesome and i hope you enjoy this car..

    The EPA site rates the auto as having better gas mileage than the manual. Anybody know why? The manual has to get better mileage.

    Nice man, I know your enjoying that ride.

    I just got to drive my uncle's is350 and, weeh its f'in awesome. The car itself is awesome... but add everything it had (fully loaded) and it makes it perfect nirvana to drive. Great handling and nice overall feel. Even the auto 'box was really sporty, esp. with the powerful engine. The paddle shifters were nifty too.
    This is truly a great car, if you can afford it.
    Have fun with your nice ride.

    Im trying to convince my dad to get one, 'cause he's long overdue for midlife (hahaha). I guess i'll just give it a few more years.
