That's horrible luck! Sorry man. I really feel bad for you. At least you have walked away from these. My one accident was also when stopped and the car was totalled and my back is still messed up after 4 years. So, could be worse I guess.

Damn bro sorry to see the string of incidents with your ride. I've always liked your ride and attention to details! Best of luck with the fix, and don't swap it, its still awesome! And I've always been an advocate of over the age drivers...

Dang hate to see another GFM beat up. My last GFM was hit twice (once while parked out at the empty end of the parking lot by a curb ) My 09 was just backed into by the people painting our house because they "didn't see it" parked on the curb in plain sight! My husband is convinced it is the color and wants me to get a different color when my lease is up. Personally I just think IS's are cursed.

As for people too old to drive, try living in S. Florida, every other day there is a "silver alert" because some elderly person with dementia has gotten into their car that they are still allowed to drive and wondered off because they don't remember who they are or where they live. It is crazy on the roads down here.

Anyway, I hope it is repaired as good as new! Time to switch to USB mica, that is probably the direction I am going. It will be difficult not to see that color.

Damn Mr Mysterio... I think you are putting the IS in too much danger, with all that crime fighting! I think it's time for a bumper guard....

Seriously though, sorry to hear that man! Hope it gets fixed soon! =(


P.S. Sorry for the crappy photoshop haha I had 5 min to do it at work but you get the idea!

You've got to feel like you can't keep anything 'nice' and want to get a beater sometimes. Or that brush guard Integress posted, lol.

Glad you are OK though. Have you ever run a carfax on your IS?
