Default My GS350 got totaled
Some idiot ran a red light and my vehicle T-boned him at full blast. My vehicle got totaled.

Luckily, everything was captured on my Dash Cam and everybody inside the car were fine.




Since me and my wife loved GS350, we found another GS with better option (ML, HUD, AVS, PT), with about the same money we would get for our settlement.

We found this vehicle from OK and got it shipped.

I haven't done much yet - transfer my GSF bumper/mufflers and installed front lip/roof spoiler as of now.

More to come - here are some photos.

@songoku Man that looks rough but glad to hear everyone was OK. Great choice on the '16 F-Sport - Atomic Silver is a beautiful color!

Any notable differences (driving, characteristics, feel, etc) between the '14 and '16 F-Sport?

That accident and dash cam was a blessing in disguise. Allowed you to upgrade car for minimal costs.

Thanks,

Most feels the same, except I feel like my old 14 GS had quick throttle response compares to newer one.

But I love added feature like full screen Navigation and Power trunk lid.

Really interested in the updates you made, like the rear GSF conversion. Looks sick!

I am glad you are OK. This photo looks much worst than the other one you posted in the other thread. This is an obvious total loss.
