Thumbs down Sad News...

Some of you may or may not know but I totaled my GS a couple weeks ago. Was driving down the road doin about 45 and swerve to miss hitting a deer. Didn't hit the deer but did hit a pole. Took it to a body shop thinking my cut off price would be 5500 to fix it. The guy told me that without even looking at the undercarriage he knew it was bad. My entire suspension is shot from hopping a curb and the front end is nuts. Car has 9500 worth of damage and I am slowly parting her out. Very sad to see her go. Met up with SlammedGs to sell my tails and saw his gs all done up and it made me realize how much I really miss my car. Was by far my favorite car.

Purchased a 00 Civic with 70K for a good price but it is a major step down and I am deeply upset. My car had liability only so no money for my GS. Basically just a 15000 hit.

It's been real over her at ClubLexus. Everyone I met was mad cool. I got mad love for this place, though it's only a forum and I probably only met 20 of you in person, it was a getaway for me. Not many of my friends are into cars so I really have one to talk about cars with. All my friends say stop being stupid and wasting your money. what do they know? We all need hobbies, right? I'm definately still gunna stop in. Hopefully I will be getting something a little more tasteful than this civic soon but took a real big money hit and need to recoperate. Civic seemed like the right thing to do.

Just wanted to let everyone know how I was feelin. Life has been pretty ****ty. I sit and stare at my car and wish things were different but I guess I wasn't hurt and that is the main thing.

Sorry to hear that. It sucks not having full coverage, but it's even worse seeing your work ending up at the junkyard

Wow! So sorry to hear about your accident B. Your car was a beauty and it can be replaced.. You can't. You will be back in the Lexus game for sure. It was great hanging with you at the Fuddruckers meet back in 06 in New Brunswick.. This was an awsome picture taken below.. Your car was the leader of the pack

Sorry to hear about your loss B. I remember you posting a thread about selling your GS, and I voted for you to keep it. in retrospect.

Glad you didnt get hurt, save be patient and save, you'll have another Lexo in no time. Just stack bread, and don't think of it. The Civic was a good choice for the time being. Stay up bro
