Bye bye, baby.

I am now looking at ~2011 LS460's as a replacement.

That stinks. Looked to be in nice condition. Dash cams are a great tool. Hope you find a nice replacement soon.

The ES was jealous... He tried to take a bite out of you and lost his mouth .

Sorry for your accident, your LS looked pretty clean.

Doesn't look like a total loss, Must be frame damage. Looks like the ES will live on.

Now you can get an LS460 that's not the least desired color this time

Yes, lots and lots of bending behind the scenes.

And I LOVE the gold - My new one will be gold, too, if I can.

Glad you are okay. Cars can be replaced.

Great that your dash cam was effective in documenting the incident. I had a cheap one for a while but returned it when it failed after only 2 weeks. Have not acquired another as yet but your example may motivate me to search soon.

Maybe someone will buy this as salvage, repair it, giving it another life. That's the sad story about an older car in great condition. It doesn't take much damage to exceed the book value. But to the owner of a perfect but older car, it's worth so much more.
