Default H3 + gs300

H3 pulley out in front of us, we were doing about 35mph, my brother swerved to miss it, but it wasn't enough. Car is totaled. is250awd coming up. No one was hurt luckily. We hit the h3 right in the driver side tire and the suspension on it shifted about a foot.

yea, could have been worst thought, car is 16 years old its been through 2 rear diffs, 2 trannies, many many sets of tires, and many near misses before, guess its number finally came up. Car was begging to show major signs of its age though, would have driven it for another year probably, but what happens, happens. No one hurt so time to move on to something new.

same as deknick, glad everyone came out ok even though its always a tragedy to see another 1GS leave like this... we even had a thread on totalled GSs a little while back; heartbreaking thread.

also same as deknick if you are considering parting out, I would love to help fund your is250 mods for some random parts

THAT SUCKS!!! hopefully the h3 driver wasnt your typical suv owner who gets mad at you instead of taking responibility. but the a newer IS250 is always a good upgrade.
keep us posted on the new IS250 and ya i will but parts and pieces if you can sell any.
