I don't know this forum would encourage speeding or dangerous driving.

Be mature and drive with class.

When i was 20 years old and driving a fully modified supercharged 2006 G35 Coupe making over 450hp it still didn't happen.
You may want to kill yourself but don't drag the innocents.
Like I said before.
It's a $50000 Lexus not a riced out 90's Civic.
Drive with class.
You just bring the bad reputation to others.
Are you trying to impress some high school girls?

Going fast has nothing to do with the price of a car. I used to take my Porsche turbo on the turnpike at 2am and go 180. So RICY huh? Dropping the IS to the ground on airbags makes it a riced out civic not going fast. When in this thread did someone mention drag racing or going fast through school zones? Trying to impress some high school girls?...You are so cool attacking a 20 year old on a forum while standing on your moral high ground.

Find me a road thats legal to go over 180 in North America.
Can you garantee there won't be a dad or mom who just get off their grave yard shift and trying to go home safe at 2 in the morning? .
On all the forum I have been on thread like this would have immediately gets lock down or deleted.
Even on Honda/Civic forums.
I am surprised this would exists on a Lexus forum.
I thought Lexus owners have more class but now I have proven be wrong.

Lol I didn't know there were rules behind buying a luxury car apparently you can't buy a sports sedan and speed a little. I hit 212 kmh a few months ago go ahead and yell at me all you want. I average 112 kmh on highways and 72kmh on local roads so 99% of the time I drive at safe speeds.

Good for you. A 20 year old is acting more mature than you. We're just having a spirited conversation on the forum. No need to bring your negativity here. Also please don't speak about class because of how one drives. Attacking me on this forum only brings into question your class and character.
Oh and cyber attacking someone on a forum is something people in highschool would do. Just saying

Nice!! Ny roads are to risky to pull something like that hah. I'm not even at 1500 miles yet. Waited until 900 to floor it and after 1000 only drove it hard once or twice. Still babying the car
