With a deep sense of loss I leave this community of amazing people. While I hadn't been as active as I'd like in recent months, this was the place I knew I could come to find fellow car lovers and Lexus enthusiasts. An open and friendly community looking to help better one another and for that I respected you all so much.

Today I leave with a very heavy heart, not by choice. I lost my car in a wreck on the 10th (I was rear ended at 65mph while I was at a stop sign) and my GS literally saved my life.

With that I'd like to say, there's a reason for everything, never doubt that. And enjoy your life cause any moment will be the last (a good excuse to buy that invidia exhaust you've been eyeing).

Lastly, though I may be leaving this forum (I might come back if I get a new Lexus but, idk yet) I'd like to say this. Don't change, my friends. Y'all are amazing people, please stay that way.

Good luck to all your builds and may each of you get to build a dream car.

This is Dark Knight signing off. Goodbye.

Goodbye.-image-2498845814.jpg

fortunately. I survived with zero external damage. Lot of mess internally, muscle and joint pain from the whiplash and impact

This hurts to look at. Glad you're safe. I can't imagine the effects of an impact at that speed. I got t-boned in my work car at 30 and the recovery wasn't fun. Here's to a full recovery!
