AH Dufous, thats what Most pple here thought too by his unclarity. 140MPH otherwise no big deal. But ultimately I misunderstood cuz I was too caught up by thinking he went 140mph after a month of ownership, my bad.

Default Why even post getting to 140 on the odometer?

There's absolutely no purpose or significance to his original post. All of us assumed 140mph.

What a waste of bandwidth...

140 miles in one month, you need to go out and drive it more. I wouldve called bullshiet if he hitted 140 MPH in the 250 AWD, I think its limited to 130 MPH.

Yeah... that's what makes it a joke.

Cute post and LOL @ people who reply without reading even the first sentence of the post, or looking at the picture.

Thanks, I think people take themselves too seriously waayyy too often. I was posting because its unusual (even for me) to have so few miles on the vehicle in one month of ownership. Its no different than the posts about excessive mileage in a short period of time. If I ever get this car up to 140mph I'll post that too. Just need to find a way around the limiter and the max possible output. C'mon people, reeeelaaax.

Nah, we live IN Boston proper. The car is garaged. I travel daily as well. Rarely do I drive my own vehicle to work.

My friend (well, not so friendly) solomoan, this is a waste of bandwidth. From the book of solomoan:

Anyway, that's how I read it...I sure hope he didn't think it was a 140MPH thread...haha
That's what I thought it was and when I saw a picture I got really excited, then I realized it wasn't.....

For a stark contrast, within 4 days of buying my IS 250 I was on the road from CA to TX (and back). Just under 1 month on it now and I'm sitting at 4,700 miles

What a road trip car! Luckily I was able to get a clear bra put on it just before setting out (thanks again, Sam @ Premier). Saved my car's nose many times over.
