Ahh, I see. Thanks.
Where do you mount your Valentine 1 main unit?
Also was that an IS350 you had for a little while? The reason I'm asking is that I may need to get a four door to haul clients around in soon, and I'm curious as to your opinion of the IS and how it feels to drive one. I guess obviously it didn't feel as nice to drive as the S, but I would like to know how you would compare them.

The IS350 was very nice. Very luxurious. Very sporty. But its no sports car obviously. It was fast as well. As a people hauler, its not very good. The back seats are very small, and if you are 5'8 or bigger, most normal size people would find the rear to be a tight fit. A better move would be a GS or even a new ES350, those are large and very nice. The steering on the IS is the worst part in my opinion. It just felt too smooth. While I could see this being a good thing for a "non" sporty car, with the IS350 they were going after the 3 series. It just didn't feel connected to the road.
But the torque and the acceleration were impeccable. Faster than the S for sure. Much easier to drive fast and with little drama. But there simply is no other car that drives like the S.
One day down the road if my income allows both cars, it would be a perfect combo.
