I DON'T DRIVE A CIVIC ANYMORE

Just traded my Civic for a 2002 Lexus IS300 with button shift automatic. It's a real rice mobile with "Altezza" tail lights and made in Japan. LOL That little ole straight six has got some punch to it for sure. I think I"m really gonna like it. It was a good deal.

Not necessarily. There is a such thing as stock rice.

It's blue. I think it's Sapphire blue.

I'm in Ohio and I got the car here, today. I'll try to take pics tomorrow. I'll be driving back to Alabama on Saturday. But I'm still a 7th genner at heart.

I'm going to call about transferring the insurance tomorrow. I'll see how much more it is. Should be just the difference in value of car.

I've been driving a lot back and forth to Ohio and Florida and the this should be comfy, sorta fast, and handle the mountains in style. LOL. This is my treat for several years to come I think.

I don't know about him, but when I had my IS3 the insurance was half the amount I pay for my Civic now.

What year and what color did you get? Checkout www.is300.net if you haven't already. Congrats on the new car, I'm sure you'll love it.

Guess I replied kinda late. Is it Intensa Blue Pearl or Spectra Blue Mica? I had the Spectra Blue Mica. If it's a 2001, then it's SBM. 2002+ it'll be IBP.

Fvcking Hondas.

Hmm... I could increase car payments per month and yet cut insurance (that risks going up) in 1/2. Have a quicker car - RWD w/ better handling.

But I don't like the tailights so fvck it.

Nah, it's an old man's car. At least I'm old and I have one.

I just remembered. On the lot where I got my Lexus, there was a 2003 WRX, Silver with a wing and stuff and less than 400 miles. $24,000 something on the sticker.

Badass! The IS300 is definately not an old man's car. Congratulations! Did you get manual or auto?

BTW do you still have the Catz kit or did you leave it on the Civic?

the lexus is300 is called a toyota altezza in japan, thus where companies like apc and tyc named their wannabe lights after that. duh.
