Default Hi..I'm new..Kinda. *Click to View Pictures of IS250 vs. Gas Tanker Semi*

What's going on guys! I never posted too often when I had the IS, but sadly enough, it's now gone and I have moved on. By gone and moved on, I mean I hit a full gas-tanked semi-truck on a highway in a downpour and it was totaled. But now I'm in a 2013 GS350 F-Sport.

I know why you're all here...to see my IS250 vs a Gas Tanker..


And the new car..GS350


Never really been a big fan of cars that weren't Dark Grey, Black or White but this Red is definitely different.

Thanks for looking at two stock cars!

Love the new Red on the GS. It has glass flakes in the paint to really make it "pop".

I also graduated from an IS (but an '01 white IS300) to a Red GS350 F-Sport AWD. Congrats, and hope no-one was hurt in the accident.

Congrats on the car. Kinda?

No one was hurt in the accident, semi had a popped tire. Fortunately I was fine, sacrificed the car, but better than my life! Thanks!

Why did you hit a full gas-tanked semi-truck?
Were you texting?
What happened to the brakes?

Was I texting? No. I had both hands on the wheel. Merging from one lane to another in an extremely bad downpour on the highway. I was about 15mph under the posted speed limit, my tires slid out (probably because they were on their way to getting replaced) and it caused me to slide into the other lane, hitting a semi-truck. Thanks for the warm welcome.

When the good Lord closes a door, He opens a window!

Good to hear no one was hurt. Welcome to GSville. I'm confident you'll like it more than the IS. Great color choice. My personal fave.

Now you'll need to change your name on the forum to ZeroGS.

- How much tread was left on your tires?
- What psi were your tires?
