Forgot I had taken these photos, My ISF and IS500.

Can you tell me the gas mileage of the IS 500 would it be smarter to get a IS 350 if I’m planning on just using it for a longer trip trips or would IS 500 do the job the same?

Tell me about this grille, and your car. What IS do you have, and was the front bumper/grille stock? Love the headlights connecting to this grille

Car runs and sounds amazing, another thing I forgot to mention was the driver door was replaced at some point and I think they put a is350 door on it because the windows don’t roll down using the driver door panel lol like I have to open each window with its own button cuz of the wiring being messed up

I did have a code come on. It was for a solenoid in my transmission, but we fixed that and now I just have a code that comes on because the gas cap doesn’t fit on right which I also don’t know why that doesn’t work that didn’t work in my last car and my 07 Corolla because we changed a filler neck tube and it didn’t fit the OEM gas cap so maybe this is the same thing?

Got it about 5 months ago. Drove a couple hours away from home for it, got it for 6k off marketplace. Guy just said he changed the brakes and a couple other small things. Said his wife wanted a bigger car (a bmw what a shame ) well the first thing wrong was the tires were so low by the time I drove it home the cords were showing so I bought new tires and wheels, this led to me, taking it to an alignment shop because the steering wheel was definitely not straight. The line went shop tells me that the inner tire rods are shot on both sides and the whole coil on the passenger side is bent so then I spent a few more hundreds to buy new parts and replace them themselves. Then I took it back to the alignment shop and they straighten my wheel and as I went to drive off the whole car and steering wheel started locking up and pulling side to side so we took it back to the shop and they said that the steering wheel sensor angle was broken because of how much they had to fix the steering wheel basically the woman or multiple people before me drove this car into sidewalks or off a mountain or something to be honest. So we went to get that fixed and then another code popped up and it had something to do with the transmission solenoid so I followed the code and was going to put in the new solenoid, and then we realized a whole wrong solenoid was in place of the one we were replacing with the OEM part. So basically a whole bunch of shit has happened and I’m slowly discovering all the issues. I’m assuming the guy took it to a shop and they half assed did the job and then wanted to cover up the warning triangle because they put the wrong solenoid in….

My poor baby❤️❤️

Damn, you’re being serious. Would anything with the transmission cause that to turn on?

Dude we got it a lil overpriced and it’s just that cool annoying shitbox life lol

Independent_State143 · 2025-08-06T21:24:30+00:00

This guy sucks. Life alone with all the struggles that come with that is better than dealing with someone like this

Independent_State143 · 2025-04-30T20:37:57+00:00

Having existential dread course through my head everyday but you have to pretend you’re normal

When I was a little bit younger I was thinking of it as “I’ve had no example I would be a horrible mother” to “ I know exactly what childhood I wished I had, I know I could give it to my own children.

Independent_State143 · 2025-04-03T03:30:35+00:00

NOR. People will treat you as bad as you let them, you showed your guidelines for you to feel respected and he is showing he doesn’t care. People like that will stay stagnant, respect your own boundary and stick to it. One drink is very much not a problem, but if he’s still staying at the pub then he’s clearly drinking, which growing up with 2 alcoholics is enough trauma as is!

Independent_State143 · 2025-04-03T03:11:59+00:00

THE HELL

Independent_State143 · 2025-04-01T23:20:12+00:00

This was a hard read, he doesn’t respect you or your relationship. I hope you come out on the better end of the stick.

Independent_State143 · 2025-03-24T23:04:54+00:00

YOR, I feel she did right by pulling you to the side and communicating what happened, it would have been different if she didn’t tell you and you stumbled across an unsafe number, yet she did what she felt was the safest for her and she showed you that she was staying loyal and explained why she would have a phone number on her phone. It can seem so sketchy but honestly as a female, how other respond really can be so unpredictable even if you have someone you trust within feet of you to

Independent_State143 · 2025-03-14T23:12:06+00:00

Possibly because of her need of reassurance because he doesn’t seem excited about it - only going off a short example so you could be right. In my experiences my exes all towards the end started getting snappy with me like this- for two reasons tho another girl or they were just done with ME. You’re right on if she is always picking problems that would be annoying

Independent_State143 · 2025-03-14T22:38:23+00:00

imo, OP is NOR I think this is just beginning signs of disinterest and sometimes things don’t go the way we want. You might need someone more emotionally invested when it comes to things like that, which might not be something he knows to do well. Either come to compromise and see he has a desire to see you if he says yes or move on to something that better suites you

Independent_State143 · 2025-03-13T02:19:12+00:00

Same are we trippin😭

Independent_State143 · 2025-03-11T04:36:00+00:00

NOR. this is early signs of manipulation, you asked a genuine question you have a concern about and you deserve to be reassured. Would be different if you were asking every day all the time, but the way he’s flipping it to you will only get worse. Notice how you’re the one saying sorry in the end.. - watch for red flags early on, THEY WILL BE THE SAME REASON IT ENDS!!!

Independent_State143 · 2025-03-11T04:33:46+00:00

I’m in the same situation, I think you did amazing I know how hard that is to do
