This happened almost 3 years ago. I remember the story. The guy ended up being sentenced to 14 months in jail. After serving his time he moved out to NYC. If memory serves me right, he actually moved to Bayside queens and purchased a white GS400 and is on this forum by the name of NT2SHABBY. You guys can all feel free to PM him and let him know what you think about this accident

The dealership took this as a huge loss. Perhaps Longo Lexus can chime in.

Basically, the guy hit a metal gate that they use to close off the entry way with in front of the guard shack, rode it like a skateboard launched and landed on 3-5 vehicles which were all total losses. They found the guy to be intoxicated.
yeah it happened just a little after i joined here on CL, it's kinda ridiculous... the kid was very young, i think he was driving his mum's car (did he even have a license yet?)

anyway, the whole damage was a lot, i think like 10 cars got totalled. thank god no one was really hurt
