Default Less than 2 months my baby hit today...

I was on my way home from a party. Roads were empty no oncomming traffic but there's a 2000 dodge intrepid far behind.. He was about 400 feets behind.. I slow down to bust a U on the road.. Left signal was on brakes light were on for sure...I was making the U turn and he decided to come across the median to pass me up as he didnt see my damn turning signal.. He took the front of my baby off.... sighhhhhhhh.. long night.. sorry for the rant


before


After

you're right. I got a reason to get a lip now.. the question is should i bring it to let lexus fix it or bring it to a local body shop ?? also does the IS bumper come pre painted like the OEM body kit?

Sorry to hear of your accident. Replacement body parts do not come prepainted, they are painted in the field.

Yeah, had a friend years ago turning left into someone’s driveway. Idiot comes up from behind and passes on the left and rams into to him turning. My friend is deemed at fault. It’s a dumbass rule. If a person is stopped ,or slowing, there’s a reason …… the approaching car should have SOME responsibility to slow down , No?

Wow sorry to see... Looks like you were lucky on the very light damage!

I was recently hit by a lady who made an ILLEGAL U-TURN right into me...

You should be glad your car didn't end up like mine...
