Automotive Engineer David Chao used to own the Lexus IS 500 - a sports sedan that's hiding a glorious 5.0L V-8 engine in its bay. But as his needs changed, he traded it for the Lexus GX 460 which also has a wonderful V-8 engine. Still, David misses driving the IS 500 and talks about his experience in this video.
