Glad to hear Adam!
lol I wish, insurance would kill me.
They took my mod list and calculated depreciation and etc. So it came out like ACV was $29,940, Taxes were 2,957, DMV was 193 and less the 500 deductible. I was expecting an $18k check so I was super surprised to hear I got that much.

Wishful thinking, but I personally wouldn't want to see DCT on a WRX or STi. I like them in manual configuration. But down the line I do plan on getting a Subaru again.

If you want a reliable, comfortable and decently quick daily driver, I say get the IS-F. Compared to a BMW or Benz, the Lexus will be hands down more reliable. I've owned enough Euro cars to know they're a recurring (and expensive) headache. Probably won't get another one for a long time. Although a Porsche 997TT would be a fun weekend car.
For me the IS-F is like a more refined and luxurious big brother to my EVO. The only thing I would put on it is different wheels. Car doesn't even really need power mods.

"And then there's this F model, which is completely opposite than anything you'd ever expect. It's super surprising. It's like... the quiet accountant in your office gets in a bar fight, and you later find out that he's secretly been training in the MMA for years." haha
sorry to hear about your car. The isF is a nice car, but you can't extract much more power out of it. There's no way to tune the car at all.
People on the isF forums just spray nos. like a 50-75 shot at the track

I don't get why a lot of folks just don't get the fact that some people want a daily driver that's quick, comfortable and reliable from the factory. Why **** with something like that by going full retard and spraying NAWWWS on it?
Grow up and resist your inner ricer! LOL

If you buy an IS-F just to drag race at the track, you bought the wrong car for that.

S6 ..... right next to your ex buddies S4 in teh shop
