Are you ok? That is always important. Sorry to hear about the accident, and I hope no one got hurt.

Take care, and remember, you can always rebuild a car.

hei guys,

it's bad but fixable. that day, I just got off swing shift at my new job at 3 in the morning, went home to sleep for 2 hours, woke up, went back to work for one hour and on my way home, went straight for the median isle instead of turning right. I must've dozed off for a brief moment because i didnt even see how i got there. driver side wheel is cracked but amazingly, the tire is still intact. The driver side rear tire had a gash and is flat. While towing, they bent my front lsportline bumper and the bottom support for the radiator. I cant claim this because the insurance my parents put on the car is "liability" meaning, if an accident occurs, they pay for the other side's damage, not yours. Damage will be around $5,000 from the prelim estimate from my friend.

Do you guys know where I could get any salvaged GS's driver side upper and lower control arm and struts?

I'm ok. I just really disappointed.. in shock... and in a lot of trouble with my parents. but i'll live with it. life must go on. it's only $$$. It's a car... but still, it's been a part of the family for a while. I'll have to rely on my brother to take me to and from work for a while.

Guys, thanks so much for your support. It's nice to know that you...my clublexus family is there for the good and bad times. i cant even express my feelings right right now but know that i really appreciate all your sympathies. I know a lot of you have also gone through the same or similar situations as I did. And I'll take your examples as inspiration to move on and............................................................
buy another Lexus I know i'm rambling as i usually do.........But seriously, thanks guys.

ahh crappy, those good for nothing medians on Marine Drive. But I guess that's better than veering onto the oncoming lanes...! Glad you are okay though and everything isn't as bad as it could have been.
