How do you know his motor is fully built?

Street racing is a no no.

umm... when i had a es350 loaner i found i couldn't take a turn with confidence over 40+... i never grew up in the fwd generation/total lack of exp with fwd cars drivin at speed... in the ES i took an on ramp at 40 and there was something in the road so i made VERY SLIGHT course correction and the suspension got all funky on me... how you can go 125+ without a care in the world is beyond me...

Uhh you must have seen through the hood to know it has a fully built motor.... No hate or anything, but you probably didn't smoke him.

I've never street race before. I've seen people crashed into other before too. I figure I just warn him before something bad is going to happen.
