Now that's some real front apron separation.

Sorry hope it gets fixed alright.

tapjoy - As a white IS 500 owner and lover, nothing pains more to see that. To be honest, seeing any of us folks having an issue with a damaged vehicle always makes me so upset. We are all passionate about our cars as enthusiast and seeing this is so upsetting, but especially when someone is so disrespectful towards one's property. I know accidents can happen but to drive away when doing this much damage is just wrong and I hope karma will get them back - I swear the world is loaded with sc*m bags. I am confident all will be good as new when it is repaired again but I know it still sucks and nothing I can say will make it better, but just take comfort with are all with you....

You are so right! Witnessed a hit and run on the highway last week. The lady tried to chase him, but couldn’t keep up.

Much to his chagrin, that wasn’t the case for me. 😈😉

Snapped pictures of his plate and tweeted them to the Atlanta Police Dept.

Well…not anyone willing to do some crap like that. A Z06, 911, etc; wouldn’t have ran, because they’d be in the grass having heart palpitations. 😂😁

How fun. Reeling them in on your tractor beam and feeling so righteous!

Okay okay…I’ll admit it here. I did say the words: “Oh you wanna run?! Engage.” <—— Picard reference.

Snow is melting away, almost time to put on the summer wheels. Car is an attention getter; passenger in another vehicle tried to turn his 180 degrees watching me drive by.

I had those Enkei's on my 2005 Subaru Legacy GT Wagon. They looked really good on it.

@DLPTony , @TipsyTonio , and I were lucky enough to do the Lexus Performance Driving School yesterday! Here are a couple photos of the IS 500s they were using for autocross. I think TipsyTonio is in the orange one in the first photo. Second is just me in the staging area waiting for my next run. It was a lot of fun!

As someone who already has an IS500, was it worth the grand to you? Did you abuse their cars enough?

They let us ping off the rev limiter for a while in the RC F for the skid pad portion. I don't know about everyone else, but I was driving the LC pretty hard on track, too. A couple of 90% braking stops and some tire squeal through a few turns as well. But honestly, yeah it's worth the money. If you compare it to the cost of a typical track day with instruction, which could be $300-500, this makes a lot of sense because you're getting to beat on someone else's cars. Multiple of them, too. And some of the instructors had long résumés, too!
