Default put a lexus owner in his place

more funny than anything. i took my SS out to get gas. as im heading home i always get on the same road where the speed limit is 65 and let it rip a little. as im entering the highway theres a lexus ahead of me. theres slight bends on the entrance lane but nothing major but this idiot wants to apply his brakes at every curve. i didnt slow down and was riding him a little close. not real bad but maybe that annoyed him. who cares.


so we get on the highway and the guy actually sped up to a descent speed quickly but not quick enough so i got over into the fast lane passing him. so im cruising at 70 in OD and all of a sudden i see him gun it trying to get past me. the term is "flyby" if i remember.

i thought WTF and right as hes next to me put it in D and floor and leave him like hes standing still. at 90 he was way back. i let off and slowed down to below the speed limit to see if he wanted to go again. he stayed way back. i went below the speed limit for miles and he never came close to me lol. we even got off at the same exit and stayed back and turned off before we met at a light.

i was laughing the whole time. it was a 4 dr lexus. i didnt notice what model but it was nice and seemed to have descent pickup. i dont think he'll be messing with fbodies anymore though lol.

Nice kill.

It could be a variety of cars. If it was small and looked new, than it was most likely an IS.

That just leaves the ES, GS, and LS. I'd show pictures, but they all look roughly the same.

The LS is the size of a BMW 7-series, the GS and ES are roughly 5-series sized.
The GS has fog lights between the headlights and grill; the ES looks like a Camry (because it is.).

way to put him in his place. I can't stand those people that brake every time there is a curve in the road or something.

+1 million! Always seems to be the soccer moms or old people driving when I see that pantsy azz driving. Nice destruction of ego OP! Now that he knows that he can't drive in a straight line nor in a corner maybe he'll sell that sled and buy a bus pass? One can only hope...

Yeah, the IS250 won't run 13s... but an IS350 will DEFINITELY run 13s.

And then there's obviously the IS-F, which will turn 12's.

The IS-F has a few too many gears though if you want to shift it yourself.

There was a lady at my mom's old apartment complex that had an IS-F. It was definitely pretty sick. And then another lady around her age (~50) had a Roush 427R.
