Wrecked my car!!
Well...as some of you know...I do not own a Lexus (yet)....but I just thought I would share this with some of you....
I was going down the road, and a dog ran out in front of my, and I could not stop, couldnt go left (oncoming traffic), so I swurved right, and hit a brick wall into a subdivision.
I wouldnt had hit the wall if they were not doing construction in the neighborhood because there would not have been any dirt/rocks that I would had it.
I had mercedes get me a tow truck out there and its sitting at Long Mercedes right now. As soon as they get done looking at it I will post what all I messed up/broke.
I know for a fact that both of the left wheels are gone, and the side of my car is scrapped and dented up pretty good too. All the underneath of my car is all bent up and everything as well.
Here is one pic that I found of my car off my disk of the pics of my TV and all. As soon as the dealer gets done fixing my car I will post more pics of it on here so everyone can see it.

sorry to hear that. Dogs should be on a leash or contained in the owners yard. Did you ever find out who the owner of the dog is. because it is their fault in the accident. Hope things work out for you.

Nope...never found out...when I had the wreck, I got out to look at my car and the dog had ran...I guess all the noise scared him.

...I know I'll get flamed for this but there is no way I'd jeopardize MY life for a dog's by swerving to miss it. I'm sure you were just reacting as fast as you could.
The guy that posted about finding out who the owner is is correct. I would think they are liable and their homeowners or other liability coverage should kick in.

It's a sensitive issue, 
but to be fair Retro did made a better (safer) decision. I would just run over the dog instead of swerve into something and wreck the car, and potentially killing myself. Good thing there was no people or construction worker there or the damage would be even worse, just for that damn dog.
