Aw damn pretty much brand new too, sorry to see that

It does look totaled for sure though, so you should be getting a new car out of this! Wouldn't want to drive that after a repair anyway. That's Oldsmobile did some damage though! How fast was it going?

...and LOL!!! @ your username

Word for word what I said when I saw the first picture, " GAWD DAAAAAMN!!!" Looks like it'll be salvaged. I wouldn't want it back either.

From what I heard the lady when she was talking to the cop, she was confused between brake pedal and gas pedal. I am guessing 45-50mph or maybe more?

LOL. I don't understand how anyone that has been driving for more than a day can be confused between the gas pedal and the brake pedal. The car definitely looks totaled though, especially at that speed there will be some pretty deep damage. Are you planning on buying a new F-Sport IS again?

I haven't ruled it out but I find it hard to buy the same car twice. I might check out the RX350 as the GF probably wants something more 'safe' after what she had just gone through.

WOW! so sorry to hear that and glad she is ok. That is definitely totaled and you wouldnt be able to keep the wheels since the insurance company owns the car after they total it. And the new RX is coming out next week!!!
