Default New ride in the stable

Wife finally broke me and talked me into a car, she really deserved one because shes been driving the 98 cavalier for about 5 years and if anybody has owed a cavalier thats about 4.5 years too long. LOL! i havent got any pics of it because my camera is acting up but here are a few from the dealership. Its an 02 Lexus IS300 with 80K, i think i got a pretty good deal, with trade-in, tax, title, and license i ended up giving $9,xxx. i actually like it better than my truck, its a hell of alot faster. the only thing i dont like is the tan interior but its not too bad, the interior is actually really clean but the suede looks like its dirty in the pics. i just got to do something with the tail lights, maybe smoke them? enjoy....

I had a 2001 for a while. I liked it a lot, very fun to drive. I just felt very over sized for it, I'm 6'2" and have always driven trucks. Great find.

Nice car. I've always liked the the Lexus (IS 350 especially!). The only thing I don't care for is the shift lever- What's about with that thing...??!!

Anyway good find!!
