'04 IS300 - Project (Not Really) Nice Daily

[Goodspeed]

Thanks for the props on the detail!  It was about 8 hours all said and done including some leather cleaning - so of course all the biggun' SUV dudes want a taste    Let me heal from that one and if you have a warm-ish garage to use I'm sure we could figure something out (I kicked my parents out of their garage for that one).  In fact, Taylor offered to help tow the FD up to the shop I hope to visit in NJ next year (<3) but if I have too much parts'n'stuff boxed up to fit in his 4Runner/if he sells it, I'd trade you, Jake, a detail for a ride in that pimpy enclosed!  

You didn't happen to take the FD out for a cruise on Sunday did you? If not, you have a doppleganger running around the Manassas/Bristow area. 

Nope, wasn't me - would be so cool to run into another one on the street, but I'd probably be taking the bus for some reason if that ever happened (pretty sure it's some weirdly specific curse with me and Mazdas; when I had my Miata I never saw another one (a Miata ffs!) when driving it - when in the daily, hordes of 'em.)

Car looks great, you had me hesitating looking them up.  My $2k SC400 was actually a really nice daily back in the day.

Soooo trip down to Mooresville for a weekend or two to knock out a swap?

I remember how much of a sofa on wheels that thing was, so good.  Lemme give you a shout in like 18 months and we can scheme up some plans : )
