So my car was keyed on thursday night while I was at the mall to pick up my wife from work. I was prolly inside for no more than 30mins.











And the one that pissed me off the most and yes is says "JDM YO"



Car is a write off from what my friend at the body shop told me, as a full paint job will cost pretty much the same value of the car. I'm waiting to hear back from my insurance monday and figure out how much I'll get for my payout. Hopefully it'll be enough to help me get a 2nd gen ls400.

ya tell me about it, it just so happened they are doing construction on the side where I parked my car and they turned off the cameras.

timing wise blows too, as its my only 4dr car, and my wife is due in 3-4 weeks. hopefully I'll be able to find a 2nd gen ls asap once I settle with my insurance company.

this is sad, but unfortunately hater's gonna hate

explain the situation to the insurance, given that it's a perfectly drivable car there's no reason they can't take their sweet time paying out the claim (never accept the first offer btw, they almost always low-ball...) so that would give you a few days --> a week to find a new car.

I thought about it, but I know with the baby on the way, I most likely wont have time nor the extra money to spend to do it myself. I already have a money pit track car, thats only driven in summer.

Ya, just when I had the car pretty much how I wanted it. FML.

Ya hopefully they'll let me do that. I had a friend who had his car written off not too long ago due ti hit and rum and it took him almost 2 weeks before settling with the insurance company, as they kept giving him low-ball offers. hopefully that wont be the case.

I already found a 96 ls400 for $4500 with 201,xxx km's, but I dont wanna bite the bullet and buy it until I hear from them on what I'll be receiving in terms of payout yet.

Looks clean but, a little too low in the rear for my taste. Symmetrical FTW. Profounds are legit but reveal an unpainted/powder coated caliper.

I like these LS's^ and for the guy who got his car keyed, sorry to hear about that. At least they didn't steal it, but neither of two situations are good. My parents went into mervyn's back in the day to return somethings and they came back out and their car was missing. Stuff can happen real quick :/
