I like how at about 3:56 the announcer says "a pretty good high-performance vehicle that he's driving.." Oh wait, it's a 3rd gen Lexus GS? Never mind, a resident expert from Car And Driver just told me the GS was a creampuff, typical Lexus.

I say this video proves that even our much-maligned 3rd Lexus GS can at least blow 95% of the traffic off the roads. Perhaps he was just trying to blow out the carbon buildup by going 120 MPH.

Gives new meaning to the phrase "Drive it like you stole it!"

Oh god why.

I was about to say the same thing about the video! thats a really funny joke but this car can push if you use the manual mode.... I Dont think that GS looked stock tho.... It had shiny big rims maybe lowered... could have a diff suspension exhaust looks a bit bigger than usual...

Just a lowered '08+ on factory wheels. Also notice how the car has a dealership license plate, as if they just purchased the car.

perhaps slow down a bit

Everything he did was an motor vehicle violation in my state not sure what Cali is but I see improper lane change 4 times, speeding, following to close and all where unnecessary in my opinion. Trust me I'm no saint but I learned my lesson which is why I can speak from experience.

Well, we need to forward this video to the police, an investigation needs to be done and have this person prosecuted for reckless driving. We are all accessories to a crime now and at this point we can be prosecuted too. What if someone was killed 10 miles up the road because of this driving. Ya know. What shall we do? Do we need to send this to the news and get this publicized? Start tweeting? Facebook post?

LMAO
