Randy.......The long term reliability reputation Lexus has earned over the years certainly influenced my decision to choose The IS350 F Sport. Ever since Pete (Vintage Pete) bought his Lexus a couple of years ago I have had the IS model on my mind. I am having so much fun driving it. Lots more fun to drive than the Tahoe, and the Mark Levinson sound system is quite good.

Dan,
Congratulations! The Lexus IS350 is a mighty fine automobile. Enjoy cruising around the Sunshine State in style in your new Lexus.

Terry.......The Lexus IS350 F Sport is so much fun to drive. I find myself looking for places to go just to be behind the wheel. Trading the Tahoe for the Lexus was a good move for me. Tomorrow, if it doesn't rain, I am going to install the Blackvue DR900S-2CH front and rear dash cams.

Congrats Dan! I used to own a limited edition Lexus GS400. I would always drive it in the sport mode which I called the "rocket ship mode". It was an exhilarating car! Sometimes I really miss it. I ended up selling it to two brothers who collected Lexuses.

greekgod.......I have not tried the Sport and Sport+ modes yet. I am still getting familiar with the Lexus in Normal mode. No reason to go crazy before I become completely comfortable with the new vehicle's dynamics. Besides, my wild driving days are behind me. It is a miracle I am still here when I think back at some of the stupid things I've done in my younger days.

Rob.......Good to see your post. Yes, I really enjoying driving the Lexus. I am going to drive it down to Largo to visit Pete (Vintage Pete) this weekend. It's just over a three hour drive. Looking forward to it.

Congrats Dan, sounds like a nice way to get a great feel for the car and see what is has to offer for an extended trip... plus you get to meet up with Pete!

Mitch.......Pete and I visit each other's homes about once every year or so to enjoy the changes and upgrades we've made to our sound system. Pete has done a number of upgrades to his main system since I last visited him so I get to enjoy the drive and his sound system. It will be fun. And I get to enjoy the Mark Levinson sound system in the Lexus while I roll.
