Picked up an 08 pearl white ISF in Vegas and drove it 2000 miles north to Edmonton Alberta Canada. Great way to get introduced to your car. A little scary as I had to contend with a snow storm in Montana (even had a jeep spin out infront of me outside Great Falls).
Absolutely love the car...serious upgrade from my 2002 is300.

Congrats on your purchase and welcome!

Curious, but why did you buy a US Spec ISF vs a Canadian spec ISF?

Welcome and Congrats on the F! I could only imagine a drive like that. Especially being the first trip you've taken with it is the maiden voyage for you. Has any mods been done to the car or is it stock?

I bought the car in the States as it is about 15000.00 cheaper. I picked up the car in Vegas for 43000. The car with the exact same miles is being sold for 62,000 at the Lexus of Edmonton dealership. Had to pay 5,000 in taxes at the border and a few other administration fees but it is well worth it. I timed it perfect as I did the exchange when our dollar was on par.
F'N...the car came with a K&N typhoon system...but pretty much stock. Don't know if I am going to get into any mods as I am still blown away from having twice the HP as my old is. lol.

Congrats! Actually it snowed in may in Markham just a couple of weeks ago, just a light dusting though and it melted away pretty quick, had my F washed after that haha.

I completely understand. I didn't do anything to my car for the longest time at all, then just started a little here and there. It is a lot of hp to have.
