Default this made me laugh...

I dont know if i can post this and Im sorry if i cant , and..i know it is lexus related but I did not want to post it in any of the forums...this is what it says on an actual 2nd gen IS page on cardomain...he is wrong on so many dimensions...

"Hey everyone. I'm 17, and I drive 2006 Lexus IS350 Triptronic Transmission silver with black Leather and navigation package. The car is under my mother's name right now because of for insurance purposes, but I am work part of time at a car wash and restaurant to make the final payments. Hopefully, I'll make the CDN$61000 plus interest by 2nd year university maybe.

Im thinking about modding lightly, such as window tints(black)and new rims, maybe suspension. In the future I might paint it white so the resale value will increase (gotta save money!). It currently has the CDN$11000 luxury navigation package, which includes luxury and navigation in one package. i might replace the stock bi-xenon HIDlights with normal xenon HEADlights. i talked to the salesperson and she said that headlights are better than hidlights. haha wth is hid? spell properly lexus. even toyota puts proper HEADlights on their crappy cars...btw some idiot put a engineered by TOYOTA sticker on one of the windows...aah i hate them all they make is that crappy echo or varis or whatever the hell it is with only a 15 Liter engine.. grr.

Since the IS's 350 litre engine (wow...23.333 times toyota size) is both direct and port injection, i might get rid of the port injection to save gas. 87 octane gas is expensive!! (speaking of which, i also use the triptronic to shift to neutral when i go downhill. that way i save gas!!! yay! my friends say to downshift, but that makes the rpm go higher...-_-; idiots...more rpm=more gas!) And I might also do intake, header and exhaust. and maybe balance it with a turbo. Right now it has 306hp and 277 torque, but as I said I'm going to mod it more. i also put stickers on my passenger windows because my friend told me it makes the car more dynamic so i also got a chrome license plate cover to finish it off..

i have only gotten my N recently but I already have a huge racing history I managed to keep up with a yamaha R1 which we were both going at full throttle and i also beat a highly modded skyline and a boosted honda s2000... i am planning to start track racing but since power is everything i am planning to get all my performance mods done before i start track racing

and PS... i dont know about you guys but i am extremely excited about the new fast and the furious: tokyo drift that is coming out!! i heard the guy is driving the new 2 dr version of the IS~ "

This is the part that made me laugh the hardest. So he'll hold down two part-time jobs totalling 30K+/year AND go to school at the same time???
Good one.

This kid has to be about 15 years old from the sound of it.
