Oh no ES got hit
My es got side swiped on the highway the other day. This guy in a jeep almost missed his exit but he was in the passing lane. This guy decieded to try to cut across to make the exit but I was in the lane next to him. When I seen him comming I jerked my wheel away from him but he still swiped me all the way down the side of my car. The worst part is I was going to drop my car, add HIDs, and paint my tailights all red this week and now I have to wait till I get my car fixed. 
The only good thing is that I am going to do like el gato and paint the cladding the color of the car. So the next time you see my car all of these things should be done if nothing else happens.

Oh...that sux...glad to hear you're okay. Highway "brushes" can be BAD news. My cousin was driving home in CA and another car brushed him, both were going over 70mph. My cousin spun into the medium and flipped over twice. The other guy just sped off like nothing happened. Luckily all my cousin got was brusied from the airbags. The car was totaled. Just count those lucky stars dude...

Well we all remember the big Audi forum guy with an ES (sorry forget the name, Eric chime in?)
Who brushed someone, shot accross the highway & hit an 18 wheeler sideways.
Which is where we all learned that the frameless Lexus window is actually fairly durable.
Ironically enough my dad just lost the FRONT tires on his '89 silverado merging on an interstate (59/20 south-65 north) in birmingham in the rain/tornadoes sat. night, brushed a gaurd rail, spun around into traffic around 7pm & nearly smacked an 18 wheeler, but he saved it & got into the median.
Glad you're ok Stefan! Get 'er fixed & be back with the work done! We look forward too it!
