lexus cars, lexus auto dealersI have some pretty entertaining Lexus cars news for you today. Apparently superstar Dallas Maverick, Josh Howard was arrested on Thursday for street racing a black Lexus against a Volkswagen. Caught in his hometown of Salem, North Carolina, Howard was pulled over going 95 MPH in a 55 MPH posted speed limit street. Howard was taken to jail and then released for a court appearance on September 23 according to Lexus cars news from dallasnews.com.

40 MPH over the posted speed limit is a felony. Policed charged Howard with reckless driving and street racing. I recently had a friend pulled over going just over 100 MPH in a 45 MPH zone but he was not street racing. After many appeals to get rid of the felony charge, the price has added up to over 5,000 dollars. For Howard a fine will not be a big deal as long as he can keep his license.

I wonder what Lexus car he used to race? When Lexus auto dealers find out what car Howard was using, I could see some of them using the story as a selling point.
