i was driving home today, then see this fixed up MB C230 California license plate "AGGRSSV" lowered, racing hart rims, window tint, clear corners, smoked taillights. i was next to him. as soon as the light turned green, he step on crazy then i did step on hard too (but didnt pass 5000rpm) guess what? i kicked his a$$. he never lead me i have the race all the time. we went up around 80-85 then he made a right turn (loser!) in my mind i was thinking dude what was he thinking?
during the race this black del sol catch up behind the MB trying to cut off him but the white MB left so he tried to race me...
again no point racing with me. of course i will beat him easily. i killed him. i got to the stop light waiting for green light to make a right turn then waited maybe 7 sec then there he is next to me. i looked at him wow its an 30-35 years old man. then he stared at me. haha too bad i gotta go home but i killed him.
first race was about 5 miles and second race was about 8 miles.
what are theoe people thinking?
they think they can beat an IS300?
or maybe thinking we are accord IS wannabes?
geez... better watch those emblems "Lexus" - "IS 300"... not accord with Altezza lights.
I'll tell you what I think:
it sure as hell wasn't a supercharged 2.3 Benz. B/C if it was you two would have run side by side. As is, you raced a normally aspirated 2.3 four banger. Guy sounds silly to me, ambitious at best.
There seem to be a lot of people who are having identity crisis problems trying to make somebody think you have something that you really don't. Right down the street from where I work a guy has a Z3 and C230. About a year ago they were the normal "everyday models." I think the Z3 was a 2.8... I'm not real sure. Anyway, a couple months later I notice that the Z3 is gone. A few weeks later, lo and behold, it appears with M badges, a DINAN plate on the trunk, lowered, 18" wheels, etc., etc. Hmmm... After that the C230 disappears. You guessed it, now it's wearing an AMG badge along with all the other eye candy. Seems a little odd to me...
An editor-friend of mine just showed up in our parking lot this week with a new black IS300. She loves it! A very sweet looking machine.
Hello, my radiator has formed a hairline stress crack at the top plastic tank. I have read that this is a known issue with our OEM radiators, but I am sure mine was due to low coolant caused by a faulty rad cap. I am willing to invest the extra money and replace it with a full aluminium...
Hey guys and gals,
I was wondering if it would worth my time and money to invest in my 2004 is 300? Nothing too crazy, just add some better rims, better brake kit (slotted, drilled, or blank?), maybe lowering springs, and possibly an exhaust. now i know most of this maybe a must while others...
I'm looking to buy another master key with the transmitter included. Ebay seems to only sell keys without the electronics/transmitter. I'm also looking to buy the real deal (OEM), not any aftermarket keys. Does anyone know where I can buy them? I'm looking at this option first before going to my...
Hi guys,
Hope you're all well!
Please bare with me as this is my first forum post!
I'm having an issue with my gearbox and wondering if someone could help.
After about 40 mins of normal driving gear changes become difficult sometimes so difficult i can't even get into first or reverse...
Okay so I just had a mechanic install an HKS Dragger II exhaust that was brand new (I initially was going to do it myself but was persuaded otherwise) on my 2001 IS300 and am hearing what sounds like a tin can rattling behind my car between the speeds of 5 and 15 mph only while I am coasting...
