I don't know what hurts more to look at. The LS430 or the green Porsche 911 Targa sitting next to it.
What year is that Porsche? Looks like an 83 or abouts to me.

Anyway, did the airbags go off? Hard to tell but I sure hope so.
Looks like a telephone pole and him had a disagreement.

Yep, definitely don't drink and drive!! Drink.... then drive. J/K

I rarely see that LS with those kind of wheels. Pardon me for being ignorant, but is that the Euro version of the LS w/ the sport suspension?

Anyway, sucks to see a new '04 LS in a condition like that. With substantial frontal damage, it's going to be next to impossible to bring it back to original form (probably doesn't make sense to total a $65,000+ vehicle). Thus, you would think it's basically a front-end accident, but I also find it kinda odd that the rear driver side is missing a tire

I think the best part of the damage, is that in spite of the fact that the front end has been damaged a lot, the cabin appears very much intact. Translation = the driver probably walked out of the car on his own two feet!!

Testament to Lexus safety is what I see in that pic!

First - Drinking and Driving just doesn't work, as we all know - ESPECIALLY IN A LEXUS!!!
I have the exact car, color, etc., and I would never be able to get over it - plus neither would my wife.
I couldn't stand it. REALLY SAD. Hope the driver didn't get hurt too badly, but I am sure the bag went off. I understand it costs several thousand dollars to get a new one and reset it. True?

That's all American not Euro. It's the sport package that comes with the 18 inch wheels.
The rear driver's side tire is on the rim but the tire is just extremely low or flat.

Here is another pic.
