I was coming into work today and a GGP IS 300 decides to try and cut me off. I swerve a bit to avoid the car and look over expecting some young aggressive punk driver. Boy was I surprised when all I saw was wrinkly skin and white hair. This lady had to be at least 80 years old
What's the oldest IS owner/driver you've seen on the road?
I have seen a dude in his early 60's in a Solar Yellow before...and a couple who must have been pushing 75 in a SBM. Maybe they had their grandkid's car for the day, who knows.
I was tailing another IS with a big spoiler and a bra not too long ago so I decided to check out who the driver was. I already had in my mind some young Asian punk like myself or maybe even some cutie but as I pulled up on it, it was some white lady in her 40s driving that thing 50 mph in the fast lane. Broke my heart, in more ways than one.
I saw a little old lady in her 70's driving an Auburn IS with the gold package on the highway. She had her little hat on and was going like 55 in the center lane.
I was at the mall a few weeks back with my fiancee. We were driving around looking for a parking spot when I see an SBM, just like mine, in a handicapped spot. There were 3 really old ladies, gotta be in their 80's, getting out of the IS. Needless to say, I couldn't believe my eyes.
he had the car for 7k miles, and paid around 33, he got 25 or 26k in credit for the trade in, so i am assuming this is enough to cover a new civic, even the highest end civic, but he still screwed himself in the long run. my friend at the dealer offered me this car, it was fully loaded and a SBM, with only 7k on it, i almost got it, but just couldn't do the auto trans, so i am still waiting for the manual (like everything else) and it better be worth it.

, I think. I had a nice talk with Sean, a service guy from Lexus Silver Spring when I sent my car in for ECU re-program last week. He told me an 88 yr old lady who had a sc400 just bought an is300 a couple of months ago. He said that she was barely walking, but was very aggressive in her car. I thought her car was Solar Yellow.

Can't you all just see Lex's Marketing department cringe when they say a carpool of old ladies cruise by in lowered, tinted-out IS3? LOL
Just think, some young punk is gonna be talking about our old butts, getting into an IS600 in the next 20-30 years. I hope they do, can't say I'd EVER wanna be driving an "old person's car".
ye[, i see quite a bit of old people around town in their IS300.
I guess some people haven't realized Lexus's attempt to gain more market share by appealing to the younger generation. They probably think the IS is just a smaller version of the LS430.
But really, I saw some guy driving down the freeway. He was in his 60's. The sad part was that the car looked like it had never been washed and was driven through the mud. That should be a crime. Dirty as sin.
Previous owner did not take care of leather so it is splitting and cracking.
Any ideas on vendors who sell replacement seat covers.
I don’t care if seats are leather just want factory look for front seats ?
Sportcross front passenger seat could be difficult to source due to fold flat design
Any...
Hey guys and gals,
I was wondering if it would worth my time and money to invest in my 2004 is 300? Nothing too crazy, just add some better rims, better brake kit (slotted, drilled, or blank?), maybe lowering springs, and possibly an exhaust. now i know most of this maybe a must while others...
Anyone have any experience with an aftermarket OE replacement oil pan? Mine is dented from the PO and since I have to pull it to address the gasket leak i was going to replace it.
The aftermarket ones are WAY cheaper than OE. But I am curious about the manufacture quality. Doesn't seem like...
Long story short i hopped a curb going about 45 degrees into it at maybe about 20 mph passenger tire first.... i put all new lower control arms on it. I got everythin to bolt up pretty nicely except the drivers side i had to basicly force the camber adjustment bolt into place, So it sits ever...
