Smile New IS250 Owner!

Hey guys I got my IS250 2 months ago but I was too busy to get online and join you guys so anyway I took my time today & registered, glad I did seems like this is the best Lexus forum on the net, so anyway I just wanted to say hi and post a couple pics of my car oh and my name is Tony and I'm from South Florida




I couldn't figure out how to embed a youtube video so I'm just gonna put the link here, the video is about me racing a focus RS. It's a short one will record longer ones soon.

Yeah that was kinda stupid I know, but I like cruising windows down so I forgot to close them. I paid 250 for it and installed in less than 45 minutes, oh and the noise in the video is coming from my car by the way, after 3000 rpm it growls. Forgot to tell you , the focus rs has over 212 hp and it only weights 1275 kg so I think my intake did put some horses.

Congratulations man.

And win or not, fact is you're driving a Lexus and the other guy is driving a Focus. I'd take the IS250 over that Focus any day of the week. The IS250 is more of a sleek luxo-cruiser as opposed to a stoplight monster/roll demon.
