Default Crash Test 99-05

Hey sorry if this is a re-post I did a quick search & didn't find anything
Just thought it would be nice from us to know what will happen if we get hit/hit someone
Hopefully nobody does, but its always good to know/learn more

The GS in the Video is a 99 GS400
"Crash Test 1999 - 2003 Lexus GS 300 / Toyota Aristo IIHS Frontal Impact "

I know from experience that this car holds up very well in a major front-end collision.

SIGH, i know what you were saying. i was laughing at him for asking that and agreeing with you on your answer

btw depending on how/where on the side you get hit, they still wont go off
