I have no idea about the Lexus in question; but for most older American
cars, putting it in 'Park' at speed is effectively the same as 'Neutral'.
The park function is basically a pin that drops into some gear teeth, and at
speed the pin just slides over the tips of the teeth (much like grinding the
gears when you miss a shift in a manual transmission).  You get an
unpleasant noise, but not much else.
