drag strip? hot laps around a race track? or racing lawn mowers for money because that's about all you could beat in our car

-Edit ROFL that's foul dude(venZon). but it's an interesting thought . . .

you're lucky! i've gotten an RX, ES, and IS300 in the past. i usually try to schedule my services toward the weekend and take the loaner out for some fun. i've contemplated taking out the HIDs but never went thru with it lol.

Erin,

With both the stability and trac off, it does nice ones in the snow, but that is not sayiing much. About the only way you can smoke the tires on the awd is while driving through a tobacco field!!!

Yep. We failed at doing burnouts in IceZ's loaner AWD. It's funny because it is so easy to do burnouts in the 350. You can even do it with TC on!
