Default my car is fast!!!

last night in heavy traffic i learned again, my little RX is a nice fast performing car!! I was weaving in and out of traffic doing full throttle and full brake maneuvers. Sometimes i even put it in 3rd to have the better pick up. My car just squirted everywhere like a mad man with a wife going to make delivery. I love it! Everybody around me must think im crazy because im constantly pi$$ing them off and cutting them. Sorry.
I cant believe this is an SUV, cant believe if i get the new GS430 or RX330, im gonna have even more fun!!!!

Yes, the RX300 indeed is a fast car. One thing I don't have yet is some nice rims with sport tires. Would love to get your tire/rim set up for use down here at my track.

Your going to wreck if your not carefull. People that drive like that, especially an SUV, and then brag about it usually do. Anyway have fun with your rx.

I'm not impressed with JohnsRX's recent postings. First it was a DVD setup with **** movie on screen, then drunken parking on street, now reckless driving.

RX300 is NOT a fast car.

JohnsRX: i hope you stop your drunk, **** watching, and reckless driving for the sake of others on the road. Any of those activities are not safe let alone a combination of them.

the 255/50 with 19s does much better than the stocks do, u should do it too. Plus it gives the vehicle a much wider stance that looks good.

Default Things to be thankful for:

  1. John doesn't own a really fast car.

  2. John's in Taipei.

Downside?

We have plenty of our own irresponsible, drunken juveniles with delusions of being Michael Schumacher without him. Let's be careful out there; one could be at the wheel of that car behind you.

John, please consider growing up; you have pressed your luck beyond the limit. If you continue to drink and drive so recklessly we will soon be posting your obituary here. Just so we get it right, what would you like us to say?
