My new baby

So these are the dealer advertised pics.. all I have for now.
The dealership is GORGEOUS (ps, this was not part of the purchase decision.. it was merely a nice experience).. everything is glass, very well Done. They have a separate 'delivery room' which is a small show room in itself (fits about 4 cars), you walk down this long hallway into this area with 18' high solid glass windows/doors and they have your car parked in there (in doors), and then the garage doors exiting the 'delivery room' are glass as well. They have you personally drive the vehicle out. It's a silly little touch but definitely excites you about the delivery of your car. I wish I had the camera on me to take pics of that part, because it was pretty cool.
Pics are now located

uum, uh. What a beauty. Do yourself proud. Drive it EVERYWHERE with a smile on your face.
One word of advice, do not, repeat, do not try to take it into the bedroom. That's asking for trouble.

Priority #1: TINT! Hopefully get this done ASAP. I cant do the fishbowl thing, personally.
Priority #2: Satellite radio. I think I'm going to continue with XM, but will see. I know theres a few ways to do integrated satellite on the Lexus (OEM or aftermarket) so i have to power through that. If anyone has any recommendations/experience that'd be appreciated.

So you got it, huh?
Congratulations!
Now you can run Ohmster for pink slips!
That thing is a beast, so don't hurt yourself. And post up some good pictures when you can.
(Oh, as for XM, I personally like it fine. But with the merger now approved, the news sources are acting like we're going to get the content of both XM and Sirius. How that will work I don't know.)

Yeah.. I saw the new topic 'XM/Sirius merger approved' but havent had chance to look yet.
I have like XM receivers on my XM account, so it makes the most sense to keep that.
There is a lot of speculative webpages on how XM/Sirius will merge, it seems like they'll both offer ala-carte options for the other provider's channels.
PS - I know you thought the IS 350 rode hard. You should get into an -F

ahahaha,,,, its funny how much we think alike (a'la the pics off the web...) and nice touch hosting them here for when the ad gets pulled, LOL. Anyhow, its a great looking car, and I hope they gave you a good deal, and you got a decent trade-in on the M. I'm sure you gave them hell, considering this has been in process for a few weeks.
Again, from the other post.... VERY NICE!

Haha! The IS-F gives me a backache just looking at the pictures. But I'm happy for YOU!

Thanks.
I tried to find a 'scenic' location for taking pictures.. but I couldnt find any...
So i used my house. The pictures are of my normal quality - poor. I suck at taking pictures. I didnt take pictures of the front in detail because.. it's embarassingly dirty from the drive.

your picture taking abilities have improved, lol. Great pics... I still like the Red, but the black looks awesome. Very menacing, and I think the tint will make it look even better!

Honestly, I took a bath on the trade, as expected. I found another dealer in AZ willing to give me $19K - but there were (obvious) transport issues there.

Thanks on both counts. I was honestly not 100% excited about the black, but for the price.. couldnt beat it. I got there and they had a red one. .but it was New.
I think this car will look awesome with 10% tint all around.

The car is awesome, fake exhaust tips? Seem's to be the new thing on some cars,
it still looks good though. Be careful with that much power. Did I mention black
looks the best on cars? Well most cars.

I can't believe you bought something that small. Did it have all the tech options you can't live without?
