Default Okay guys fess up, who's car is this?!?!?!??!?!?!?!!?!?

i took my car into my dealership's lexus collision center today to get an estimate on fixing my fender. i peruse the lot and see tons of GS, and LS. but no IS i look some more, and in the far corner i see this. the air bags did not even deploy, and the otherside of the car is also completely effed up, there was only half a rim on the drivers side front. so who owns this baby. i doubt it's any of us but i figured i would try. i really wanna know the story.

Ouch. No plates yet, and it's thrashed hard. Definitely looks worth fixing though from this angle at least.

Thats why they have warnings on the airbags saying that they may not inflate if the vehicle is hit at certain angles/speeds.

Looks like someone got a little too far up on the kerbs, man...you gotta stay off those things, quit trying to cheat the apex.

If it has navi, i've got first dibs. lol. Weird how the whole right fender is f'ed but the headlight housing is pretty unscathed. Now that's some indestructable plastic!
