Default Before and after....my first sc 300...WRECKED.... BEWARE...SAD SIGHT

here are a few pics of my first sc. I feel terrible for taking a car like this off of the road. It was pristine only had 70000 miles. 5 speed sc300. I hit a tree going fast. damn thing came outta nowhere.

O my geez...I'm glad your ok. Another example of why the SC is such a great car. Not only does it look amazing, but it protects it's passengers when necessary.

incredible. love this car. how are YOU doing? sprains, strains, bruising, etc? if you've already talked to your adjuster and the pd, do you mind being asked what happened?(trees don't grow in the middle of the road, and there is significant damage to the r/f and l/r of the car)

Wow, I drive a safe freaking car! Looking at the position of the FR Wheel, I would expect broken passenger legs. But, from what I can see, the passenger cabin is untouched (sans the glove box slap in your chest)

so. to answer everyones questions.... no there was nobody else in the car, if there was, the cop said they would probly be dead. This happened way back in october on the 22nd. 7 days after my birthday. Everything is all said and done and I already have a new car which i also posted up pictures of.
Those of you wondering............
I was going about 100 mph into a hard right turn and when the *** end came around I thought I had it but my wheel caught the edge of the road. It threw me into the ditch and I tried to pull out but couldn't. I jumped a driveway squeezing between some heavily reinforced mailboxes and a group of trees. I then proceeded to hit one lonely tree and went from about 75-80 mph to 0mph instantly. I was feeling fine, just shook up. I actually got to go home, no hospital ride for me. I felt like **** for about 3 weeks and spent a lot of time at the chiropractor. I was really sad. My tow receipt says "Lexus Soarer" lol.
I didn't even get a ticket.
