Unhappy R.I.P. 03 GS300 Sport Design with Saddle Int.

It is so hard to let your cars go when you sell them but to find out just a short 4 weeks after the new owners bought it from you that it has been totaled out! Yup. it's true, I was told the Lady that bought this sweet car was nailed in the rear by some lowlife that wasn't paying attention to what he was doing. Crunched to the rear window which also popped out by the impact. It is amazing that she did not get hurt. She is so pissed! Anyways, thought I would pass this on to the CL group as I know a lot of you have seen pictures of her on this board. She came to me from another CL member...Sorry Mike!

This is sad. Hopefully someone can salvage the interior before it goes to the crusher.

As least she is okay. That's the most important part afterall.
Hopefully she'll find another ride as cool as the GS.

NO! But no car person wants to see a car that they put sweat into get crunched! Once yours it becomes a part of you... at least for me thats the way it is.. How about anyone else?

I am sure that you take pride in your car right now but are you saying that once you get paid some $'s for it , then it doesn't matter anymore? Haven't you ever sold a car and then remembered back about it and thought it would be nice to have again? I know I have... $$$'s are important but that is not why we are on this forum, it's because we are all into these cars.
