'04 IS300 - Project (Not Really) Nice Daily

[Goodspeed]

Catching up on this - Sorry about the original IS but it's nice this one came around at the right time! Congrats!

Thanks Steve!

Car landed yesterday, not as filthy as I would've expected from a cross country trip, but still in need of a good wash.  Dirty pics for now, however the car looks nearly mint.  There's some detail/paintwork to do on the front bumper and some chips on the hood but for a 14 year old car you can tell it was loved.  The interior especially is   near-perfect in all the usual wear spots.  Definitely looking forward to getting it all cleaned up.

Coming from the rental Cruze that gets turned in today....my god.  I've only been without my old IS for a few weeks, but getting back behind the wheel was a revelation.  The way the doors open and close, the heft in the steering, the visibility everywhere, down to the weight of the turn signal stalk.  The car is tight and solid feeling in a way the Cruze could only dream of.  Unreal.  Welcome home IS 2.0  <3
