Testament to Lexus safety is what I see in that pic!
True! I cannot believe how big the A, B, and C pillars are in my 2004 LS. It's almost hard to see out of sometimes. However I'll just get used to looking twice in return for the safety of the passenger cage.

My condolensces to the driver/owner. Looks like the Euro-Tuned Pkg which hit a wooden (electric) pole or tree. Seems like the registration plates were still pending (ie new purchase).What a waste of Japanese manufacturing.Hopefully no human waste.

Don't want to sound cruel but the driver "should've known better". It was a good thing that it was a pole and not an innocent victim. Since people like this don't really care for other people, "luckily it wasn't his/her family member or a love one."
