Well I was just on my way from my girlfriend’s house and as I was on the NY state Thruway at 1130pm. When I came a long side a Honda Accord V6 which I was on the left lane and he was on my right. At this point I was going 80mph as I started to past him I noticed that he started to speed up and was staying in my rear quarter panel “blind spot” So I sped up to 85 and he just kept sitting there. I don’t know if he was trying to look at my car just was just acting like an @$$. There was no one else on the thruway. Well my exit was coming up in the next ½ mile so I did what anyone else would have done driving the IS350. I hit the gas and in seconds I was going 110mph with the accord was left sitting back there with his thumb up his butt.
LOL. I just thought I would share this with all of you. Man I love this car

I have the IS 250, not near as fast as a 350 but a great car nonetheless. Doing about 65 on the freeway and all 4 lanes are doing the same speed or slower. There's an IS300 in the far left lane. There's a break and I gun it. Guess who's on my butt., that's right, the IS 300. Then I speed up and the 300 is tailing me. I'm coming up to my cutoff so I slam the brakes and watch this jacka@@, nosedive and switch lanes. I don't know if they had something to prove or was just being stupid, but just goes to show that it doesn't matter if it's ricer Honda's or 1st Gen Lexus, you deal with all kinds of crap on the road.
