Unhappy I appreciate my is350

i miss her so much she was a victim of a hit and run november 21, 2011.....i havent seen her since. She was hit pretty bad but luckily no frame damage. Guys if you have a lexus out there take care of her tell her you love her, and try to always park it in the garage.

sorry to hear about this. Has the body shop given you an estimated time of completion? I had an incident with a deer last November that caused over 6K in damage and a month in the shop. The Dodge Caliber and Chevy Cobalt loaners made me appreciate my IS sooo much more.

It's unfortunate when you take care of a car so much and then one day some asshat not paying attention runs into your car that you worked so hard to protect. Even worse when they just drive off and don't give a crap about you either

Looks like your getting the car fixed tho, which is always good!

Hit and runs suck big time!

I recently had to deal with a similar incident as well, was afraid at first I'd have to go back to stock as my JDM rear was damaged during the accident but luckily my body shop did amazing work and was able repair my rear. It just sucks because it doesn't matter how safe you drive there is always idiots out there who suck at driving.

Be safe and glad you got your car back. Enjoy

i know the feeling. I hope your baby will be back to normal soon. the wait will be worth it.

I glance at my beauty as i walk slowly away from afar knowing that I'll see her again very soon.
I wipe her down almost every other day to make sure she's dust free and from the toxic elements that she picks up from the public roadways.
I love how she handles and maneuvers herself in a constant rythmic motion.
She's had her ups and downs but always seems to stay in a happy mood consistently over the years.
She gives me pleausre 24/7 and doesn't complain that much and when she does,
I make sure she's filled up and ready to go.

sam i am.

I JUST GO THE CAR BACK GUYS. Its like the first day i meet her but with bigger lips . Basically the hit was on the driver side fender, driver side headlight, and my after market cf lip. AT the end though i got a hood with no rock chips freshly painted a new fender, new driver front side tire, new headlight, and the best part guys is that they replaced the after market lip with a SEIBON CARBON FIBER LIP...not it goes awesome with my seibon carbon fiber truck ...i just love spelling carbon fiber i think i want to change my name to that pics will be up after i get my lip in and installed PROMISE
