Default Crashed SC400 =*( SC400 vs Lincoln Town Car

hey...
i just got into an accident about a week ago..
here's how the story goes...
Im from Brooklyn, NY.

So, I was heading up 65th street.... got to 10th ave... **** was mad crazy.. waited to make a left turn.. light turned red so i went... and tried to go fast... then.... on coming traffic... some ************ in a Lincoln town car... decided to go through the light and BAM!!!!

im all ****ed up now... me... my car... i hope nothing sreious with me... but found out today my car is pretty seriously hurt.. its probably gonna go to the big car lot in the sky..... engine and tranney is still good.. i need a shell of a Lexus Sc, Ls, or a Gs to drop it in.. but don't kno what the deal is yet..... everything else is gone... too much body work to fix... to many parts to replace... the whole chasis and frame is out of place... i don't kno... **** is just ****ed up...

gotta go in for some xrays and maybe some thearapy tomorrow... my neck was killing me yesterday... but now it doesn't hurt that much... but my back is hurting today... the day of the accident i didn't feel no pain except in the chest... the airbag hit me mad hard... i felt like i got punched really hard...

Pics of my car now... Poor Lexus Sc4.. =*(

ANYONE know where i can find another SC or a really good bodyman?

Looking for a SC300 or Sc400 / stick / auto

That's a real ******* shame your car is in a bad way, I am concerned that you appear to have real signs of "whiplash", I would be looking into your insurance claim for personal injury.

Why is it always gray? Thanks, but that won't help. Take Bill's advice. BTW, looks like you have a fluid leak. You may want to check that out -

i agree... stupid town cars.... for all those ppl who own cars in the city, u all know how annoyin it is when a lincol town car pulls up next to you, they got all thier limo sevice stickers all over the car and they weave in and out... personally i've seen 3 accidents this year all involving them ******* town cars...


screw town cars..... screw livery cab drivers... i hope more of them get robbed and killed..... ****in' *******s, maybe they should learn to respect others on the road before they get into thr driver's seat......

even though i drive recklessly occasionally... you have to consider others.... and make sure others aren't in danger.... i drive stupid when i know that the only person i endanger is me....

i hate livery cab drivers... they always in a hurry and they never go anywhere.... if you wanna real job then get a real taxi not a stupid town car...

Geeze...... what happened to the top half of your car? It looks like it's gone missing! That looks like a pretty bad crash. Last time I was in New York, I was scared *****less by some of those cab drivers. They actually "created" lanes in between existing lanes just to get two cars ahead! I would personally never drive a Lexus around in NYC with those kind of drivers around. Greg, you should try pain killers, muscle relaxers, and spasm medicine like Soma, Flexirol, Valium, and IB Profin. Those help me a lot when I pull a muscle working out. I'm talking about severly debilitating back and neck pain where I can not even stand up on my own much less walk around. Good luck with the recovery, and hopefully those MRIs show no major concussion or hemorhaging. Good luck on the SC hunt and let me know if you're parting out your "fallen solider".

Man, is that true, but if you can drive in NYC you can drive anywhere, when i'm down south i'm like go! go! go!, feel like everyone in front of me is having a stroke at the wheel. Sorry to hear about your whip Greg, hope you're feeling better, maybe i'll stop by with the hounds and fix you up with a good ol' BK Dutch session . Where's your dome anyway? Used to live in Sheepshead Bay, off Napp Street, by the Golden Gate Motel, you know, hooker heaven ..........

seems to be alot of crashed SCs lately

sorry about your loss, hopefully insurance will give you a fat check to buy another one

if you would like a few extra bucks, is the rear left torsion bar intact? I need one!

thanks
