Congrats on the car. Welcome to the forum. Are you planning on keeping both cars?

thanks folks,
no...drove the 300 down from minneapolis to trade in. considered it but too many toys around. trying to avoid being a collector

haha yes it is a great color, the IS 300 should be a good jump point for someone. I set it up for the daily comute with K&N,Fidanza and Clutchmasters, Koni Yellows, Tien H techs, DraggeII, Megan, stage two Stoptech Brakes.
Good choice of bikes too ive got that one Red Black and an F4I i will be selling this spring, building a 550 cafe bike should be ready this soon

There is nothing like the feeling of a liter bike under full throttle to make your car feel slow (unless you own an 800+ whp Supra or something similar).

yeah the step up from the 600s has been on my mind...but i hardly find myself getting the full use of even a 600 here in Minneapolis.
