LOL. I actually drove all the way down to Torrance to buy my Yaris (couldn't pass up that deal).

However, that was back when I had a job that I could call off/request PTO really easily. Can't do that anymore at my current job.

That grill, though.

Great choice. I’m a big fan of the IS line and they are such a great used value. I’ve been looking at them on and off since I don’t have my FR-S anymore and I rarely get to ride my motorcycle.

Congrats on the new IS350! It's a great looking car and I hope that you have some fun with it!

Most car forums have pretty short lifespans so no surprise that clublexus is relatively inactive. I've recently got back on S2KI and it seems pretty dead in there, which is crazy because I remember when that place was hopping. Part of getting old I guess.

You will probably find yourself back on here at times, this forum seems to have held up pretty well. I don't have my FR-S/86 anymore, but still come back to lurk once in a while. If you really loved your 86, you'll probably get another one someday as a weekend car. I finally got another S2K and I hate convertibles if that tells you anything.

Good luck with the new ride! I have a 2018 Accord 2.0T now as my DD and the creature comforts are nice!

I own an IS300 and used to frequent my.is . Not sure if it’s still as active today as it used to be. It used to have a lot of “which exhaust sounds best” threads but maybe it’s gotten more technical over the years.

Not many people own an S2k, especially young people. Lot's of people own twins though.

I don't disagree, availability and cost of entry are certainly in favor of this community, not to mention the overall numbers made between the 86/FR-S/BRZ platforms all across multiple continents/countries. But having been on multiple car forums over the last two decades, I have seen many a vibrant car forum become a ghost town after the initial enthusiasm wears off. With the possible upcoming changes to the second generation of this platform, how each OEM will approach the next gen, etc. will be an interesting time to see how this forum plays out. So far, I have to give this forum credit for remaining a vibrant, active community. One of the reasons I still lurk here, despite getting rid of my FR-S 3 years ago.

Seems like Facebook, Redit, etc are the go-to places now.

Also discord and local car groups. The community is still alive though this forum's threads have slowed down and sometimes filled with spam / OT discussion.

I think this forum survives because the twins are keepers for a lot of people. Those of us who b ought new in 2013 look at how little we'll get for selling and just keep them for fun.

Take it easy Eddie.

Those iS350 F cars are sweet.
