I don't think it was a joke. Who spends $35k plus on a car and then make an ass of himself by showing just how much money he wasted getting a slow car?
1) He said he "missed second" in an AT car
2) He was acting outrageous (kinda as if this was all set up as a joke for the forums)
3) Most people that are in the Lexus community, part of the forums and all, totally understand that the IS250 slow as shit. I've perused clublexus on a few occasions and found this to be true.
4) Maybe he's not a complete pretentious douchebag that thinks price and status are the most important things about owning a car. He is the one that recorded it and posted it on the internet. If he was worried about keeping up a facade that his expensive car was fast, why would he do that?
I could be just wrongfully giving humanity the benefit of the doubt :iono:
