Tipsy/Tony - Are we talking about the video where the guy went to take a video shoot after being on vacation and then pushed the car very hard?

I hadn't heard of this site before, but I had noticed that a bunch of discount Toyota parts websites are based near Toyota of Hollywood, and this seems to be another one. But I would never buy anything from Discount Parts Monster lol; they charge $8.00 to go pick it up on something as simple as wheel locks. They get you in with a lower sticker price and then hit you with shipping to make up for it. Meanwhile, the Lexus of West Kendall parts website sells the same OEM parts and they don't charge for pickup, and since it is coming directly from a Lexus dealer, you get the 1 year warranty on the part.

Here's the video, and now it has some good comments. LOL pretty entertaining stuff. Gotta side with Tony though, looking out for us customers.
And he didn't learn squat. He has another video where he is driving what is obviously a dealer vehicle BRZ and he is drifting the crap out of it. In 6 months that car will be sold as a dealer demo most likely.

Yep this is the vid! Was on a conference call and couldn’t look it up. I have never seen a post that long.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Buyer Beware is an understatement.

For those of you not wanting to go to the comments of the video, this is the conversation. I suggest we all go in there and flame this pleb and stand up for our man Tony like I did. If I get the time later today, I might send management an email, but given this guy's attitude, I highly doubt they'll care...

There was another IS in Grecian water and it was a lot lighter than this one, I did not like it. This was a lot darker, maybe the lighting made it look lighter.

Do you guys include a bottle of vaseline with every purchase?

The easy way to tell it's not Grecian is the fact that the picture caused nobody to vomit uncontrollably.

What a jabroni. Nobody should want their car taken on a joy ride before they get it, that's their own job. What an entitled tool. I hope that every car he owns will constantly have a slow leak in one tire that can't be solved no matter how hard he tries, so that every time he starts it up, he gets a lovely message that will slowly drive him insane.
