Default My wrecked 99 LS400 :(

Some dubmass lady with no valid license drove right into me sunday night. She hit me on the right side obviously, and was trying to get across to the media to go the other direction. I was cruising at about 55 mph. Not only is it smashed up, the transmission is shot too it would not get out of drive until I kicked it in park to get my key out. I'm pretty sure state farm is going to total it.

ouch sorry about your car. glad to see that you are okay. I was in a wreck like this with my 00 Ls but i was hit from the back and then pushed into the person in front of me. I hate to see our cars like this. The insurance was planning on totaling my car but I fought and they didnt total it. Looking at the damage that you have state farm will most likely consider this a total loss. i say that you should go after the lady that didnt have a valid drivers license because she should have never been on the road.

that's a total loss, no question. sorry to hear about that, these things happen unfortunately

Make sure to get yourself checked out by a doctor, regardless of how good you're feeling. People are easier to fix when caught early. cheaper to fix than cars too

we are ok if you are ok, but I would have to get another LS...
in fact as I drive mine, I get a touch of sympathy for other drivers who have not chosen a LS..

Thanks man, I just may do that. I got the call from the person insurance today and I am getting 9k for the car plus sales tax, which is more than I paid for it so sounds good to me.

Damn that sux, but cars are replaceable, humans aren't.
Any how try to get top dollar for your car and never settle on the first offer the insurance gives you .I miss my 98 white LS though, drive a gs400, you'll love em.
