I ended up with a shattered foglight lens, and I priced replacement, my eyes started wondering...


I have replaced my car, with a 2008 Lexus IS-F with 55k miles. Many of my friends think I'm crazy, as they looooooved my Maxima. My father-in-law wanted to buy it for his one of his other daughters. The Maxima was so roomy compared to this IS-F. But my heart is moved by raw performance.

I've been a member of this forum since I got my 7th generation Maxima in 2008. This forum has been exceptionally helpful in answering my questions- many times without me having to ask.

I've found a new forum, clublexus, I've been over there "super lurking" ever since my purchase in July.

Though I wasn't exceptionally active, I will miss the knowledgeable and respectful members of this forum.

Thanks a bunch guys.

Damn...how do I post pics? Maybe I never earned the right...

See links in my sig for how to post pics.

 

so you got rid of your 7th gen due to a shattered FOGLIGHT lens?

Damn...send some of your cash my way, man!

 

It was merely a catalyst for things, I suppose, not the reason for the trade. 416 horsepower, rwd, exclusivity were the reasons. Lexus service is from another world.

This reminds me of a similar post from my old wrx forum, a guy needed brakes and ended up trading his car in and getting an STi, so everyone responded by saying they needed gas, or (fill in the blank) so they traded their car in.

Man, I gotta have a photobucket account? I don't have a photo bucket account, and have no real need for another screen name and password.

your friends think u r crazy because you moved into a monster

in for pics

 

The ISF looks sick with a widebody kit on it. Props on the new purchase it should be a fun car from what I have heard

 

IS-F! Enjoy those non functioning dual exhaust! jk just being a hater. CONGRATS on the upgrade

 

bye

 

The worst part is the non-functional 416 horsepower and I really miss Nissan's in car sound funnel/generator.

 

I think the lines of the 7th generation Maxima are more beautiful. That is a gorgeous and timeless design, in my opinion. I just hated seeing myself all over the place.

 

Thanks for the love. This car sounds, handles, and accelerates incredibly.
I suppose I need some pics of the circus exhaust...

 

amazing

 

Nice car from the performance standpoint but still a chicks car nonetheless. My GF has an IS250 and it just feels small. I've driven the ISF and its a great car, but they need to do a GSF to entice me.

Good looking car though! Enjoy it!

 

far from a chicks car...

 

I dont like Lexus but he's moved into a better car...and its diff not a chicks car....Jettas are chick cars,

 

Your friends say that because your Lexus is light years faster than what they drive. lol

I couldn't see myself not having a maxima now.

Very nice find though.

 

Deff not a female car. Looks good.
