Is this IS 300 the "flying" model? I can only ascertain from these images that is has said capabilities due to the excessively large wing....it must be functional. Why else would one put a wing of this magnitude on a vehicle designed for ground travel?

You must be new, so I'll excuse your ignorance.

yes I am fairly new and I just asked a question about the reasoning behind that monstrosity on the trunk. If that's ignorance then please forgive me.

No you didn't "ask a question", you made a ******** remark in an attempt to poke fun at me... Why not ask why my tail lights are tinted red, why I changed the wheels/bumper, why the car is lowered... Anything that's done to the car is done because I wanted to do it.

I wish you were still on my.IS, way more negativity over there.

Car is looking used and abused. Very nice
