So I'm cruising with a buddy late Sunday afternoon, and I pulled out in front of a silver is200. He came flying up on me and flashed his lights... International sign for race... So I down shifted to 3rd and he got next to me ( I'm guessing he was a six speed, defiantly manual) and honked 3 times and gave my girl some go. He fell behind almost instantly. I pulled about 2 or 3 cars and let off. We did this a few more times and I won all 3 times we went. I pulled off the road and he followed. We talked cause he knew a little English. He had exhaust and so e ghetto *** PVC intake. All in all, it was a good day. Man I love my car.

 

germans is200
watf have u been smoking tonight, youre in nebraska

 

I think he is in the military and right now is stationed in Germany. Lucky guy!

 

so he ships his IS over??

you can get alot more fun cars up in germany

 

Rofl! I'm stationed in Germany, but from Nebraska, sorry for not clear in that up in advance. The ONLY reason my IS is here is because I owe on it, and my wife was prego and we needed a car. It was free shipping thru the military, so I said... My Lexus+autobahn= FUN. So she's here.

 

How's your car do on the Autobahn? Do you ever hit the speed governor and find yourself having to move over for faster cars? Btw, Don't the IS200 have a smaller inline 6?

 

Ive hit the governor a few times, and yea I gotta move over. It's not un common to be blasted by bigger and faster cars. The is200s have a 2.0 liter 4 banger.

 

oh now i see, i though u wore playing gran turismo or something ;p
how do u like it up there
is gas expensive there

 

Rofl grand turismo. I'm no bs-er. I hate it here, I miss the states so f***Ing bad. Gas is ridiculous. On post here we pay the national average for the states. So, something like 380 something per liter. From a quarter tank to full is almost 50 bucks.

 

You should put your IS300 up for sale, I bet you could get a lot of money for it!!
I think A LOT of people would want to buy a American-Spec IS300

That's like how everyone in the US wants a J-spec car (because it's different!!!)

 

youd think so, theres a guy not far from here with a USDM is300 with springs rims and exhaust selling it for 17000. its an 05 blue with 60k, 5 speed. and no one wants to buy it. theres alot of hassle selling to non americans. id love to sell mine for 15-1700, but just really no marked for it with germans.

 

Germans love them 100mpg diesels and stuff, is economy there just as bad as here at the moment
what kind of job do you have up there i was thinking about going myself

 

I'm in the army. They told me to come here. I hate it personally. What do you do that you were going to come over here?

 

I'm pretty sure the COLA should take care of that, but you saying you had a wife and kid, you prolly never really get to see the extra money.

 

Turkish: Yes, before "Zee Germans" get there. LOL

What is the governor set at on our cars?
