What is the point of posting pictures of crashed cars? Is it funny? I don't think so. I can't believe this kind of post could be considered car chat, let alone in a Lexus forum.

You are kidding right? Where were your complaints in these threads? I can't believe people and their hurt feelings over the GTR... It is unbelieveable!

And this was only in car chat, should I post more? The point is this is nothing is new except now that it is the GTR that is getting crashed and you are getting all upset. Please listen to reason and all the people who like the GTR as a car and complain about any bad press about it please stop taking things so personaly... please it is only a car.

obviously the gtr is just too awesome for the intarweb.

fact: the gtr is so fast, seeing a gtr on the road only means that it was certainly there 2 hours ago.
fact: the gtr is so powerful, it breaks other cars transmissions too.
fact: you cant collide into a gtr, only it can collide into you.

Can't be any worse then some of the Lexus hybrids that sticker at 50k and with a low speed accident makes them a complete total lose, and remember the GTR is only a 70k car, owners have insurance for the value of the car not what they overpaid, unless they have gap but if someone could chime in and clear up how exactly insurance works for cars/owners who paid extreme markup

Yeah, there are lots of threads about wrecked cars, usually with an expression of tragedy attached to it in the OP. Not with a big thumb-up icon and childish sarcasm underscoring a gallery of smashed cars. There's a difference.

^^ I dunno... I think the thumb up was regarding "The might Godzilla", not toward the pictures...

That's just me though.

You have to wonder if some dealers are scared when they get into a car with a customer for a test drive!
