any accident you walk away from is a good accident. As much as we love cars here on ClubLexus, people are infinitely more valuable, not to mention a hell of a lot harder to fix

feel better man, the soreness and body pains won't kick in until you wake up and the adrenaline's worked its way out, make sure to keep in touch with a Doc and get yourself checked out.

Speaking from personal experience- even if it is totalled u can still save some things. Contact the tow yard and tell them u want certain items. Almost all will let u remove parts as long as u put something in its place. Ur tails are untouched ur tte lip is an add on and untouched and icant tell bout the rim for sure but it looks good. U can pop in some fact beat up parts for the ones u want. This wont impact the salvage payout and u'd get more for selling the items urself. U may not want to go through the hassle but u do have the option. The tow yard owner will come up once the insurance company walks = craigslist add or personally. Sorry bout ur ride bro it looked cherry.

such a nice car to get wrecked, glad to see you are ok. You can build one up again but you never can replace yourself. Be grateful that we drive such safe cars, angels are watching over you man.

Hope you're doing alright, KuWuPt. An LS would make a nice replacement.
