Then u have 03TL-S. Probably on his 12th tranny. Between him dropping his step-dad to work to borrow the car and him acting like its his, the car won't make it. This is a guy who most likely, spanks his fucking monkey 4 times a day. He beats it like it owes him money.
Both of you clowns don't have 10% of the automotive knowledge as myself. You guys go to your friends house, read his Car and Driver, read a couple threads here and think u know a thing or 2.
Ya'll don't know shit. God himself mourned when that spem hit the unlucky egg and created you 2 wastes of cells and DNA strands. So please go bark up another tree.
If your mothers weren't whores (not post whores, but real whores just like your grandmothers) and had any idea who your father was, I could somehow trace the monkeys or camels u 2 queers came from........
U fucking beastiality bastards.......
GAME OVER!

For your information, i drive a g35 coupe. And who is immature here? A 26 year old who has no life and spends his time on car forum boards starting quarrels with people or a 19 year old who enjoys cars and doesnt talk crap about everything that is not a lexus?. I'm not even just talking about this forum, everyone knows the 1sicklex on every forum. And the fact that you have to use vulgar language and disrespect people you dont know. I would never say anyones mom or grandmother is a whore. Its a proven fact that people who use vulgar language are ignorant and have nothing else to say thats intelligent and so you resort to that. You are an immature prick who has no respect for anyone. Thats funny how you say that i pretend to have a car thats not mine? I'm probably richer then you on my own. You choose to talk crap about cars that are superior to your pos es300. For you information, not everyone wants a lexus. Maybe old people like that old person in the picture. But hey, if its you cup of tea, then fine. No one cares. Lexus makes reliable vehicles but has no performance qualities for a car enthusiast, and all the car designs are "bland and boring" as stated by many car magazines in the us as well as in europe. Lexus doesnt sell in europe. Why you ask? Europeans think lexus cars are ugly, give no performance, and is no competition at all against the germans. So how about you stop being like this guy:

I could drive a POS Pinto and you could drive a Ferrari Enzo, it doesn't change FACTS. Now your wrong AGAIN. You state Lexus has no performance. Your dead wrong. If you would even visit another forum and see what people do and say, you would see that is not possible. THe IS was hailed as the 1st TRUE 3 series competitor from Japan. Now to support my arguement since YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT. Here is a link
http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....&page_number=1
The IS first against the C, 330 and S60. And it ALWAYS faired well in other magazine reviews and comparisons. Would u like me to go fish for you?
Dumbass, the SC 300/400 was an Automobile 10 best for 6 years. Its sporting character was one of the reasons it stayed on the list so long.
And the GS. Well lets see, did u read ANY REVIEW? Do u know why it won CAR of the YEAR and was a 10 best winner twice? Go read and find out. Sport coupe handling, blazing speed and luxury at a price lower than it's rivals. Seriously, go read a review or two.
Why do u bring up Lexus in Europe? They don't even sell Infiniti there. What is your point? Yes Lexus is not selling well there. No diesel model. Very patriotic owners (say no to Japanese). They are fixing their strategy. Infiniti I think is coming MAYBE in 2008.
And when it comes to TRUE PERFORMANCE, MODIFICATIONS, you can't be serious.
Just browse here for 10 min. No other Japanese luxury car maker comes close to the vast aftermarket http://www.l-tunedparts.com/testimonials.php
Just as it's a fact the G35 is the entry level sports sedan to have now. Period. And coupe. It has won over and over, the VQ is marvelous and the FM platform is incredible mixed with great styling (Coupe) and below 30k starting.
Just as the TL is selling like hotcakes and no other car in its price range offers its standard features for the price.

Sure, i give it props since it does handle well. But where is the power? Even a 4 cylinder TSX is faster then it (in car and drivers comparison). I talked to my friend who has an is300 and disposed of it. He even says its an embarrassment to lexus. Wheres the redesign? And you bring up the GS. Those car mags were probably talking about the gs430 which is a lexus car that is actually somewhat fast and performance oriented. The gs300 on the other hand....sucks. And hey the gs430 doesnt even sell well. That just one indication that people dont look for performance when driving a lexus. Tell me again why i would care about performance parts for toyota? Its apparent, that no one around here tunes toyotas/lexus's because it would cost thousands of dollars just to make one decently fast.
I can admit their flaws. Stock they are now slower than the competition. The competition finally woke up and made some cars to compete well. Let's not go into the 1990s when Infiniti was almost discontinued as a whole.

You know nothing automotive. So I cannot go on. You have no clue. I know more about the G35 than u do. Please get one or a a TSX to replicate this.

That dyno was WITH the stock block. Stock internals. That is what makes the 2JZ so popular to boost.
25k? That is ridiculous. U can boost for 5k S/C 8k turbo, 10-12k gets u many different kits.
People spending 25k have near 1,000hp cars? Did it have 1,000hp?
It is common knowledge the VQ is not an engine to boost. Engines blowing left and right. It can hit many 400hp before you got to change EVERYTHING. It's not worth it to most. A nice Greddy Turbo or Stillen S/C give the car about 80-100hp more to the wheels. Not bad
The TSX is not a car to boost for the levels we are talking about.
I will ignore you. After your last comment, you have no clue.

C32=teh lame... it's like the cheapest MB fitted with a supercharged 6...
E55, that makes sense... S55, sort of, but there's a 12 involved with that line... And the coupes, all good.
why did you get the C32?
Junkster, who wonders how much a E55 costs

let's all remember the rules of 'organized arguing'...
Bring facts or leave yourself on the couch... away from dat der internets...
Junkster, who wants solid proofs... that means no 'my friend's said'

One of the residents at the hospital I work at has a pharmacy degree. Another one has a PhD/MD thingy going on, and another one has a MPH/MD dual degree.

pre-med is a hard road, with harder roads still further ahead of you... I'm not discouraging you or anything like that, but it's kinda makes me mad when someone in your position on the ladder of medical profession starts saying how much money he/she will be making...
sorry, it's that middle-class upbrining in me...
Junkster, who wonders what school 03tl-s is attending

Though, if you have no research experience from undergrad, your not gonna have a chance at MD/PhD programs...

But, to be perfectly frank, that's the only way to get to the cream of the crop. If you think it's hard now, wait till your senior year, like me...
working in chem dept as UTA...
Double major, double minor...
29 on MCAT...
working another part time job...
running shit at frat house...
having crazy gf's...
taking full load o' classes...
... and then you don't get into med school your first try...
hehe... how did I get through all that crap and still have time to drink?
oh yea, don't sleep.

If you want money, medicine isn't the best way to go...sure it can be lucrative but there are more direct ways to get there. My investment banking friends put away twice as much as most doctors and started making money earlier (with waaaaay less debt). Its probably easier to become an investment banker than a doctor anyways
If you want to help people though, medicine is an honorable and rewarding profession...btw, I am in the healthcare industry and its a tough tough business so beware.
