Picked up my Jade Mica IS 300 today at 11 AM and am in love all over again. From the handling, stereo, Home Link for the garage door openers and the fit and finish I love it.
The 17 inch wheels and Potenzas make it track like it is on a rail. Lots of good windy roads here in CT for sport driving, not flat and bornig.
Got to think up a place to go this evening to see the headlights work as the board says they are fantastic.

old dude: Congratulations!

But first, I recommend you check the tire pressures of all four tires. When I got my IS, I discovered that Longo Lexus had underinflated tires to deliver a cushy (read: sloppy) ride to appease the traditional Lexus buyer.

The normal recommended tire pressure is 33 psi all around. I'm actually running 42F/39R right now, and the reactions are so much sharper than stock (I'm still experimenting with pressure to find the best overall grip. 55psi = no grip, BTW)

Hey, congrats, i know the feeling. May it last a life time. Just washed and waxed my baby, and she's ready to roll. If you really want to break her in get a hold of your wife or girlfriend or both and use the front and back seat.

Congrats,

I think you and I are some of the few owners with the IJM. I've always liked that color and it looks good w/the ivory interior. Very understated, executive, classy. I like all the colors of the IS, but IJM just does it for me.

01 IJM w/LSD, 5Zigen exhaust, 5Zigen wheels, Toyo Proxes, TRD race sway bars, TRD adj. shocks, Blitz drop-in filter, springs soon.

I'm still counting my twoonies.

Hope to join you guys by this Fall.

Congrats! I second the recommendation for a tire pressure check!

Congratulations! I also recommend checking the tire pressure. However, "pushing" the pressure much beyond the factory specs (33 psi all around) will only make your tires wear even faster than usual...and, believe me, these tires are going to wear quickly, as Lexus warns in the fine-print. On low-profile tires, a pound or two makes a big difference!
