Default this1b0y's IS350 was rear ended Monday on 237
237 East before Zanker Rd, right in front of Force10 Networks.
3 Car collision.

slowing down to stop... then BANG. Black VW Jetta rear ends me. we were about to go (traffic) so i guess foot was off brake a little and bang, hit Toyota avalon in front.
result?

rear damage + front damage.
and btw, jetta airbags deployed and pretty much totaled.
Lexus... better than VW

2nd time someone rear ended me... 1st time was in my x5 at a red light... lady slammed her corolla into my rear.

X5: no damage
toyota corolla: totaled.. including shredded glass, needs probably new everythign under hood.. was squirting water everywhere.. thank god to BMW.

That's unfortunate. Glad that you are okay though.

Just curious, why do you have an Altezza badge on your IS? Since there is now Lexus in Japan, the 2IS is now available there. The Gen1 IS is the only car that qualifies to be an Altezza?

definitely take out the altezza, it's a completely wrong match

sorry to hear about your accidents. make sure the frame is not bent. knowing the vw is totaled and your car is like that, the lexus is strong

Sorry to see about your accident. Doesn't look to bad, should be an easy fix. Get that trunk aligned properly tho.
