Replying to: jimbres (May 07, 2007 4:57 am) Yup, I'm thinking that "diabolical" may not have been a strong enough adjective to describe how that car behaved on roads that were straight as an arrow as well as those that were Route 17ish (or worse). BTW, I leased my two BMWs from dealerships on Route 17 (New Jersey), and drove them quite often on 17a west of Sloatsburg. Lots of fun! Best Regards, Shipo |

Replying to: shipo (May 07, 2007 4:10 am) I've got you by 2 years and my arms are still long enough to read but approaching the extent of focus, so to speak. I think spiritinthesky had both IS350 and 335 in his hands on a recent test at an old airport runway and can probably provide the best feedback on the better performing car (as opposed to the official editor expert reviews). His family owns both and is selling one for a people mover. Guess which one is being sold? Let's assume the Asians are getting better but not there yet in the best handling category. That's an opinion I'm sure will be a quite heated debate. Regards, OW

Replying to: circlew (May 07, 2007 5:48 am)  Yeah, I'm still within focus most of the time for most things, however, I needed to send my RAZR in for service last week and I needed to read the IMEM (or some such) number off the label behind the battery. Uh-huh, not happening, time to get the cheaters out. Mrs. Shipo on the other hand lost the ability to read children's books (big type and all) when she was 41, and it drives her nuts that I'm still not wearing glasses (yet of course). If for no other reason than the fact that she's irked by my eyesight, I'll hold off on spectacles for as long as possible. Best Regards, Shipo

Replying to: chanmak (Oct 23, 2007 4:51 am) I owned Lincoln LS and the 3-series is "cozy" in comparison but livable for 4 on most drives. It's far from a long-trip cruiser for 4. I would buy another 3 just for the driving dynamics. Regards, OW |

Replying to: chanmak (Oct 23, 2007 4:51 am) Also, why are you posting the same post at different IS boards? Even the IS-F one? What does it have to do with the IS-F?
