The good side I guess is that the LS sure does hold up well when wrecked. That it looks good even after it's damaged enough to be a write off gives me a little confidence that the car is as safe and solid as I think it is. It's another reason I don't want to give up my LS.

Looking forward to the pictures of the nice 04-05 that you replace it with.
Thnks! it is a very solid car and really suprised as fast as it was sliding that it didnt rip the door completely off - the hinges held strong.

will post pics of the new ride!

Speaking of the Lexus standing up in an accident there was a story about a year ago where 2 teens doing 80 mph rolled a 1992 lexus several times here in Orange County and both boys got out ok the police said the car held up better than most cars in such an accident.

Insurance has taken away our beloved LS400 which didnt go without a fight, they had to drag her away on a flatbed (mainly cause the Batt drained and you cant pull it out of park without power)


In with the new-
