I had an old guy in an IS 250 in the lane next to me who kept going full WOT at every single traffic light.

He did this for two traffic lights. I can't tell if he was trying to race me or show off or what.

I can't make fun of a fellow 2IS owner though so it is what it is.

Man, who is the "IS350King" posting on these videos? Bro needs to quiet it down a bit... Like I posted on one of the videos, I know we want some respect for our cars, but we all have to act like a respectable bunch.

None the less, awesome runs and such!

I act like the old guy carLx posted... I zoom off after red lights, not to show off, but I just truly enjoy feeling the power that I'm sitting on.

MY friend who was supposed to record the whole thing fell asleep on me or something. That race was won by 1.1 secs.

I finally figured out who IS350King is. He's a frequenter on my.is forums.

I would say who he is but I'll let him keep his secret identity . His demeanor on my.is forums is completely different. He's extremely polite, well mannered, etc.

To be honest, I used to be annoyed by that also particularly when he started insulting me when I was simply pointing out some of the benefits of the 335i over the IS 350 (I said stock for stock the 335i handles a little better, that's it

But now we are on good terms. I still wish he would tone it down and show a bit more class but it is what it is.

I started noticing on about 40-50% of these youtube videos that the argument began with somebody who is "not" IS350King. The way he presents himself on youtube is nearly identical to the way IS350king presents himself on youtube.

Then, I was perusing my.is forums and noticed this guy with a very similar screen name who also claimed to have an '08 IS 350.

So, I straight up asked IS350King and he confirmed it for me (because we are on decent terms now).

I have tried to show him the light by telling him that taking the high road, being a little bit more sophisticated/classy is a lot more effective than insults. I'd like to think he's taken my advice on at least some occasion since then. Progress is progress at least.


The only thing I REALLY don't like about the way he handles himself on youtube is...when he gets really mad at dissenting opinions, he'll use his 15 alternate youtube accounts to downvote the individual's responses thereby censoring them (in a few days). I really don't like that kind of behavior because I'm a firm believer in free speech.

Honestly I think youtube should take that feature down, everyone should be heard.
