Default life without my new IS

What happened to it? Or are you modding it at a shop or something?

Who's fault then?

Was it an emergency slam out of the blue? Or one was actually too close and was not able to stop in time?

I know the feeling... when my car was at the shop, the other party's insurance gave me a Chrysler 300 as loaner. I cried almost every day... my IS250 was 1000x better in terms of comfort and handling.

The 300 was like a big boat on the road, I don't like it one bit. I was also paying up the **** to gas it...

It felt like heaven when I finally got my car back from the shop.

She just did it out of the blue, She wouldn't give me any information and her car was fine. She said "your car is your problem". I got pictures of her car and license plate just in case. but my insurance said it was ok and paid for the repairs, I hadn't had an accident in 12 years I added the Fsport grille and the lip, thats a picture of when I took delivery of it new.

Wow, she shouldn't talk like that...! So I guess there was no police report then.

At least you got a new bumper again. I guess the F-Sport one suggested above may of also been a good option as well.

actually the same thing happened to my previous car. i hit a Jeep in front but the Jeep wasn't hurt but my hood was f'ed up. the guy came out and looked at his car, looked at my car, walked back into his car and said "well hope you have insurance" then drove away.

glad that your car is fixed with the Fsport goodies

That's the exact thing that happened. I hit a Jeep Liberty or the new one that look like the old Cherokee. she wiped it off and drove away, I knew i liked jeeps for a reason

Damn some of you guys got off lucky, I barely tapped a Scion XB (maybe 2-3 mph) and the girl driving it said she was suffering from injuries to her back and neck. My car had 0 damage, her car had existing damage and she got it fixed because she blamed it on me
