Don't complain, your car costs 20x their hondas....a is250 is for show imo, if you really want speed...go save up some more money and buy yourself a $3,000 civic ex hatch and then mod it from there....

I dont think you have a right to complain unless you bought it yourself....

untill then..... all you can do is try and total it by running into a parked car and crying and begging them to buy you a GTR or sumthin.... good luck bro.

I know, I know, you guys are right I LOVE MY CAR dont get me wrong . I do have one of the nicest cars in my school, I just get so mad when my friends feel like racing and I know I'm going to lose. I just happen to hang out with a bunch of Tuner kids so its sucks to see them tuning there cars and doing a bunch of mods, but yeah.. our cars still look nicer

you'll grow out of the feeling that you "need" to race. whats the point? you have a nice car and leave it at that. you dont need to prove anything to anyone. i'm 21 but i dont feel the need to want to race anyone. just go cruisin. trust me you're not impressing anyone by racing (illegally). and plus, we don't want you to be another statistic.

Oh man when I was 17 I was still busing it.
At the time I could only dream of having an IS300.

Look at it this way, yeah they have fast cars and are easily tuned, but witch one is going to turn more heads? Not in a sense that you want to show off, but really 2IS's are eyecandy don't worry down the line you'll get another car and you can feed your need for speed. The way I see it, one needs to learn to drive different power level cars gradually because a lot of today's young crowd jumps the bandwagon into high powered cars and aren't wise about the way they drive. With great power comes great responsibility, this is my first car and honestly I wouldn't have it any other way, yeah sometimes I wish I had an IS350 but when I think about it, it was a safer bet for me to get an IS250 as I know I wouldn't be able to get into any trouble with the temptation of speeding or racing. It truly is something that you need to get out of your system when you have your first car, and I've been very cautious and mature about the way I drive

shiet...
Driving ANYTHING in my high school was considered a freaking luxury!

Around your age is the highest rate of fatal car accidents. Not trying to sound like a stern old man, but yeah. Do be careful with street races and stuff.
