"Street racing is bad"

That being said, I wanted to comment about my first kill with my 4.0L (in case this thread gets moved). Like the Professor, I too killed a bird. Got him with the leading edge of my hood, and he flew over the top of the car. Good thing I had the top up, as it was an explosion of feathers.

Again, street racing is bad.
My first kill taught me a big lesson in the government blame game. I hit a german shephard on the borderline of two cities as it ran across the boulevard. I hit him in one city but he crawled over the border to the next one. I called everybody including the ASPCA and they all disclaimed responsibility. The dog was so crippled I couldn't take him in my car which was also badly damaged in the front end. Anyway, had to leave him there in pain - felt bad ever since.

And I agree, street racing is bad.

I've had my encounter with suicide rabbits. Driving at night and you see the ba*tards runs right at your car. I never thought their lives sucked so bad.

IS 300's were 215 chp/218 ctq and the same weight as a Mustang more or less.

All the IS300's <it was only imported to the NA market from 2001-2005, in Japan its the Toyoya Altezza> were 215/218 from a 3.0 v6. For some reason when making the new IS 250, Toyota took a step back with their high end Lexus sport model and put in just a 2.5 v6 rated at 204/185.

I got two squirrels at the same time last week, they thought that running straight ahead would save them. Even with an unmodded V6 I still nailed em.
