well, when i saw it, it looked like there was a bumper, but then again it was dark and the HIDs were blinding. most of the damage seemed like it was on the driver side fender and side skirt.

2/9 east on Orangethorpe spotted at Marquart about 3:15.

1-SC lowered, emerald green with wheels similar to the Lorinser LM6.

A day or so earlier spotted Idrewfelix, east on South St, at Carmenita. I don't recall the time...was at Wells Fargo when you drove past. Maybe 4:30-5'ish.

Coming down Colima Rd. towards Nogales. I came across this good looking GS at Lambs Auto.

Same day I also spotted a silver SC430 on Axis Milanos(?) parked next to a house near Albatross St.

So I saw and heard this really insane Lexus LS400 earlier tonight.

In San Gabriel, on Mission by the train tracks. I was waiting for the light to turn green going northbound on New Ave. Then I hear this crazy engine sound and a car zips by, thinking it was a Mustang or Corvette, but no....It was a freaking Lexus!@

As I drive up behind this Black LS400, It's a older generation. I noticed there is NO exhaust pipes. So I roll down the windows, and every time I hear him gas it or floor it. It sounds like a American muscle car. It had a Racing Beat license plate frame on it.

Does anyone know who's car this is and what is under the hood?

u sure it was a car w/motor mods of just the exhaust cut off?

coz the LS has a nice V8 sound w/o mufflers but it is a tad raspy on the top end like that.


could it possibly be Retro?

Very good question. That is what I was thinking. He probably just took the mufflers off. But man, it just sounded insane! He floored the car alot. It made my IS350 sound like a weenie mobile. It's like you hear this "VRRRRM VRRRRM", then my car comes along with a "weeeeweeeee" HAHAHA

2-GS silver kitted (maybe L-Sportline) with black mesh grille. Couldn't see the rest of the car since it was behind me...youngish female Asian gal driving.

Spotted: My Twin

In San Gabriel around 5PM, on Mission going north towards Las Tunas. I was backing out of the driveway and I saw a GFM 2IS drive right by me. It was lowered, and had some kind of mirror tint. You made a right turn onto Las Tunas.

Nice car! Looks just like mine!
