<div dir="ltr">I got to drive an IS250 on an auto-x course at one of those Lexus events where I also drove the IS F after sitting shotgun on a couple laps by Jeff Andretti at Summit Point.

<pre>Scored a cheap '02 Lexus IS300 in 2013 after many B13-less years. Torque. Correct-wheel drive. Toyota reliability and cheap parts should it need fixin'. Apparently "luxury" cars depreciate quite quickly and if you're not into the snobbery of new-car you can get a lot for the bucks.
