Its not goodbye, we'll call it see you in while.
Last time I posted I was building my LS
Then It got eaten by a construction zone. I was driving through a stale construction zone that they had shaved the road down about 2-3in. Speed limit was 40 so i was going 40-45 ish. Then all of the sudden a there was a man hole sticking up at the normal height. With no time to react I hit it dead on, the car jump into the air and then landed with the CHECK ENGINE, VSC and TRACTION all flashing. Within a minute I could smell oil so I dipped onto a side street, blew a stop sign and started down a small hill. As I started down the hill i heard something fall out from the rear of the car so I put it into N and started to coast. I came to a parking lot for an OIL CAN HENRYS, as I pulled in the engine started to grind so i shut the car off and coasted in.... I delt with the CITY OF VANCOUVER, LakeSide Construction Company for over a month and they just kept asking for more pics of the car and outside damage. So I claimed it on my Ins and they totaled it out.
This is where I stand today....

damn that sucks and i'm sorry to hear. you should sue the construction company if they failed to warn you ahead of time of the construction (ie. warning signs).. the same exact thing happened to my cousin's 350z. he was driving on an unpaved road and thought he was good to go till he saw a raised manhole cover and it was too late to stop, he was going about 40-45mph when he hit it dead on. his car flew into the air and landed. the whole chassis and suspension was messed up. he went through insurance and his car got totaled as well.

Im sad to see the LS go, but excited to enjoy the GS. The condition of the LS was so much better than the condition of the GS, so its ganna take some getting used to. I will def troll through, I love the LS body, and so many guys are doin good things with them right now. Plus the GS forum is so unorganized, I tried wondering throught their Cbest thread and got frusterated and left.
