Default R.I.P IS350 & Good bye Club Lexus!

I got rear ended last year in august. Just wanted to show you guys what my car looked like after the crash. Im surprised my air bags did not deploy. I'm ok and glad i walked away from the crash.





Insurance claimed that it was totaled. I am fully insured and fully covered. Recently received a check for $45k, and kept $32k of that in my pockets so I'm GOOOD and I'm sill waiting on my check from my attorney.

I'm done with the JDM scene. In my opinion years from now these will get old and played out. But a Classic will stay a Classic no matter what year it is.

airbags don't have to deploy in all cases of a crash. glad you walked away! but don't imagine a crash like that in a classic car...

I'm surprised you would not get another modern safe car after a crash like this...

First, glad to hear you're OK

Second, you signed up 5 months later just to say goodbye?

Third, the IS is a luxury sports sedan before being a JDM in the way you intend it (because in reality it's not JDM unless you imported it from Japan) and I don't understand how a classic could replace it (practicality, safety, daily driver, etc.) ?!

Uhhh... played out?!

Glad to hear that you're ok and got paid for the loss. You only have 1 post here, so hello and goodbye. Enjoy your "new" classic ride.

@Aeromotive . That's a Chevy. And it probably does whoop-de-woo tricks BUT I don't think he'd last long with that as a daily driver.

I don't know why I read "classic" as "cadillac" and I didn't even bother looking at the picture... lol

I saw your car on copart several times before, haven't seen it in a while so it must have a new owner already.
