a few more thoughts
I bought this car from from the original owner. I swear the poor guy must have been about 90 years old. He had every single service done at the dealer. (not saying that Lexus dealers are reputable), but when I added up the receipts, this guy had over $16,000 just in maintenance. The car was mint. This is why I am so upset. She was my baby. As to my x friend who wrecked the car, he's been avoiding me at all costs. Everything is good with my insurance company. Guess I'll have to wait it out and hope for the best.

Re: front passangers side
My x friend walked away without a scratch.
That is just wrong to treat someone's possession like that!!

I thought I would start this thread as a warning to others. Think twice about letting people borrow your vehicle. I thought he was joking about how fast he was going, but when I saw the car (especially the tire blowout) I was pretty much in shock.

Here is a thread a buddy relayed to me about an M3 driver in the Orange County area.

Your just told you straight out what happened? Couldn't he at least say a tried to avoid a dog or something.
Seriously though, I have friends with great cars and friends with just average cars. The friends with great cars I know not to ask them to borrow their cars. Its just a rule a guy should know. I keep away just out of respect. But I don't mind taking out one my friends Taurus or Rav4.
