Elderly Woman Drives Lexus Saloon Into Salon
Some people really need to check a dictionary. Saloon is what the Brits call a four-door sedan. Salon is where you go to get your nails done.

At just before 9 a.m. yesterday, the woman, identified only as being in her ’80s, drove the Lexus through the salon’s large glass window. The car, presumably an ES, made its way all the way through the shop, only stopping after hitting the adjacent wall of the smoke shop next door. The impact sent “several hookahs and bongs” flying, according to The Orange County Register.

How can the Club Lexus Editor not know that is clearly a 2GS?

The gold car in the building (presumably the one that drove in) is clearly a 2Gen GS.
That right there is (probably) half of the investigation.
It is not rare at all for aged seniors to confuse the brake/gas pedals and charge forward unexpectedly.
That is also one reason why, in my auto reviews. I comment on the design and location of the gas and brake pedals in relation to each other, and how easy or hard it is to slide one's foot back and forth between the two.

Sigh. The 2GS is now officially a doddering old person's car. There's another guy in my town who drives a silver 2GS and he looked pretty much like an ole hippy who never came back from Woodstock. Lol.

No the ES is still by far the old fogey's(65+ and retired) Lexus of choice, its what they are familiar with, FWD, V6, feels a lot like the Camry they owned 10 years ago. The LS is kind of in the same boat, but they are WAY more expensive, much harder for the average senior citizen on a fixed income to afford.

You can't say that just because one old woman happened to lose control of one GS (and that, of course, assumes that there was nothing mechanically or electrically wrong with the car, such as a sticking/runaway throttle). If you look around you next time you are on the road or in a parking lot, you will probably notice that the vast majority of elderly people drive an ES......or, if they can afford one, an LS. That's because the ES provides not only a reasonable comfort level (for ride softness, older ones more so than newer ones), but also FWD traction for reasonable sure-footedness on wet or snowy roads.
Well, if he still looks like a hippie, he probably at least still has all of his hair left. Can't say that for a lot of guys.
Let's hope he does't smell like a hippie......they were notorious for not bathing LOL.

I try not to do this as I go to get my mane trimmed. Haven't seen the other guy I was referring to. His hair streamed down from a mostly bald head. Think David Ogden Stiers from the MASH tv series and cross that with Crosby from Crosby, Stills and Nash.
