Lexus does ricer flyby, then hits a red light...

venumus93 · 07-11-2002, 07:06 PM

On my way to work this AM, in no hurry, 4 lanes divided road, I'm in right lane cruisin' at 50mph in a 40-45 zone. See a black 4 door Lexus back in the left lane cruisin up slowly, then suddenly he gets on it from 50 yards back & does a ricer flyby. I'm just chilling to some music on the way for coffee b4 work & think nothing of it until I see him catch the next red light. I pull up next to him & his passenger is laughing. Temp tags on car, 'man in mid-life crisis' age group driving, I figure time for his whoopin'...
The light turns green, I start to go easy & he hits it, so I get on it through first & hit 2nd easy so as not to spin, let the tires grab & say bye-bye to the over-priced Toyota. I had him by an easy 3 car lengths by the time I hit 3rd. I let off at about 70mph and let him come up on me again, trying to do another fly-by. This time, I said no. I went to 3rd when he was at my drivers door & pulled him hard again. At the next light, I was the one laughing. He got stuck behind a truck in the left lane & I was first in the right lane, so the fun was over. Good thing, as I was laughing too hard(with my window half down so he could see me) so I wouldnt have gone again. I think it was a GS300, a smaller lexus sedan, not their largest one. It had chrome rims, & some tag on the rt fender that said 'sport package' or something on it. A good way to start a wrok day!
My cars is running great now that I replaced my wires(one had hole in it & was arcing onto the inner fender, causing some sputtering now & then) and I found that my plastic cold air tube was not held on by the clamp at the bottom of the tube(I noticed when taking it out for some detailing), so now all is well & the car runs great. Can't wait to get to the track again.
Fun times in the FL heat these days!
Later!

Could've been an IS300?? They're a small 4 door. A buddy of mine brought his 02' auto to a 15.5 on his 1st and only run of the car

Way to put that guy in his place. It gets pretty old having to play 'hall monitor' with guys who think they are fast.

Way to go venemous93, good show. My son has a 2002 SC430. I drove it some and it's a really nice car. I think it does about 14.5 and 95 in the 1/4. Very nice, but some what heavy even with 300 HP.
