Yes, this is legitimate!
Remember the old thread I posted in '07 at the 150K milestone?...

Well, at 2 years, 6 months this guy has driven the heck out of his Yaris sedan as a courier.
NO PROBLEMS YET. Just oil changes, tires, and spark plugs.
Even the brakes are original as it is almost all highway. Original clutch too.
Here's the youtube video (kinda boring and lousy sound quality). He passes 115 mph in the video, lol.

You can see the outside of the car with mods in this older video...

Its kind of wierd when he's going 120 mph it doesn't seem like he's passing by the other cars as fast as that speed. I know when I go even 100-100 mph other cars (who are doing 65-75 mph) zip by really fast.

On I-95 in Florida, the flow of traffic is 85-90 so at a 110-120, he's not flying by cars like you might otherwise expect.

He even installed a kitchen and bathroom on board so that he doesn't have to pull over.

I don't know how he does it though. 8 hours + everyday at a constant 80 mph.
