Default Yesterday was a sad day for me..

So my grandfathers GS300 overheated on Wednesday and we took it to the shop and they said it would be ready Thursday afternoon. Since i don't have work on Thursdays my grandfather thought it would be easier to borrow my car for a day.. I tell him to be careful and everything since it is a BRAND NEW car.. 300 miles on the Odometer and this is how he repays me.

Apparently the person who hit him was a 20 year old hispanic female on her phone... GET OFF THE PHONE PEOPLE AND WATCH THE ROAD!

This is what i saw when i went to the body shop to see the damages.





I was planning on buying out the car after the lease was over.. But i guess now im just going to turn it in like my last one

Yea, Im not too mad about the car really. Apparently the woman swirved out of the way to avoid an accident, but she swirved toward him and not away.. Sounds like panic set in.. Its just a car, Everything in life can be fixed except for death and i am very happy that he was driving a ULTRA-safe Lexus instead of something else.

gl with fix man... now a days body shops make it so u cnt even tell.. good thing ur granpa is str8... like u said everything can be fixed except for death...

edit: if it wasnt ur gpas fault... i would cause static about it and make it so that no matter what lexus fixes it. i think in the end it will make the car that much more valuable when its time to trade in.
