wow well 45 to me isnt that fast because i fainted and hit a brick mailbox on my cbr600 4 years ago and i was goin only 25ish.i only ended up with a a half side of my head numb cause i got cut on my head even with a helmet on and had to take a month or so to recover. this recovery will be alot faster but, thats y i think 45 isnt that fast. fast for me is above 60ish. im just thankful i was driving my GS because if i did have an accord or a civic idda been very hurt. just want to thank everyone for wishing me the best tho im gettin alot better im starting to become a little more mobile and able to walk around my house upstairs ....

wow you need to buy a lotto ticket. no seriously I know it sucks you lost the car but like evryone says you can always buy another. Thats the second gs i've seen with a side impact and in both cases only minor damage to the people inside. If you really want another gs, plead your case as the car that saved your life. Have a happy holiday . one question did you have the radio up?

damn lucky you were in a lexus, anything less and you may not have been here to tell the story, unfortunatley i also can vouch for the safety of lexus vehicles, i totalled a 93 sc400. i was cruising down the interstate on my way to work after only gettin 2 hours of sleep and then making a 45 minute commute... needless to say i fell asleep with the cruise set at 85, went in, then out of the ditch spun and hit a guardrail passenger side first, at an estimated 75mph. i hit the end of the guardrail, so my car ended up being bent at about a 15 degree angle...i have pics, ill post them later if i can... i flipped and landed upside down...all i got was 6 stitches for 2 cuts in my hand, which were probably caused by airbag deployment...
heres one crappy pic...

I gave my parts supra to my brother in-law to drive his truck over. Him and his friend took both of thier full sized chevy pickups with 39" tires and drove over it. All 4 rims were so bent, it had to be dragged onto a flatbed, but even with both of the trucks sitting on the crossbar, they could not get it to collaps, and this was a targa top. A week earlier he did the same thing to a grand prix. They pretty much flattend that. Toyota and Lexus really built these thing to take a beating in a wreck.

Although that DOES SUCK, sorry man, I KNOW the pain. I've totalled 3 cars now, and have had a few more wrecks, lol, and I can tell you, it's NOT cause it's a Lexus. I've totaled an 81 Chyrsler Lebaron, 86 Crown Victoria, and a 2000 Cavalier Z24, walked away from ALL of those accidents without a scrape, no seatbelt in ANY of them. I was T-Boned in the Crown VIc, Ran the Lebaron off the road into a phone pole, and did almost the same thing with the Z24, except hit a tree.

As for insurance and parts. I had about 5 K in that Z24, Rims, Kone Shocks, Eibach Springs, Underdrive pulleys, strut and sway bars, etc. I stripped EVERYTHING while it was in the junkyard. They don't wanna cover aftermarket unless you insure it sepertely, so I took all the aftermarket off, and a few stock parts that people wanted. When the insurance company came to get it the control arms werent even connected, I wish I was there to see them tryin to get it on the flatbed. I had a box of stock parts in the passenger seat, LOL
