Thank you guys.....for all your support....i really appreciate it...you guys are very supportive.....What am I planing to do is to sell the car as is.......I feel so bad after spend a lot of time, effect and money on the car to make it as perfect as I could. Before the accident I only have one small rock chip on the whole car!!!.......and I spend 5 hours (fom 4.30pm til 9.30pm) the day before polish the car with zaino....I got rid of all the water spots and get ready for the summer. Well, thank you again for all your support and watch out for those animals....

The Lexus is a safe car....you guys should be proud of...!

Wow, just checked out the pics. I am glad that both of you guys all right, the crash looked pretty serious. Our cars can really be hard to control once they go into drift. Just happened to me a few month back. Are you guying a new Lexus or have other plans?

I know that the LS is unforgiving once the tail snap. But anyhow, I love the LS400 and if I have a chance to own one in the future.....it will definately be the LS or another Lexus family. But as of now, I'll be looking for something more sporty such as E36 M3, 325is, 328is or E46 323i or ci, 328i or ci as my budget is limited rightnow!!!

The car is not worth fixing anymore!!!! At least the frame is stright. Everything else seem to be ok....except the body of the car. I am thinking of taking out all the mods (the rims are not bent but have a few scatches) and I'll put back all the stock stuff back and sell it. And I'll most likely to sell the car as is too.

I know it was sad to see the car goes but afterall I was okay so I have to thanks the car for it. I'm glad like you guys said I was in a Lexus!!!!

Thanks for all your support

Hey,
Sorry to hear about the loss. Its not all bad though, I am not sure
of your financial situation, but you could use this to your advantage.
A few years back, a company here in FL took a first gen LS and cut
the roof. The company is called "Convertable Conversions." They
also made a cloth roof for it, but that is expensive. What I would
suggest if you can afford it, is cut the roof off, and have a four door
beach cruiser. Keep the rims and mods on there, and use it in car
shows. You dont need a roof for it, just drive it on clear days and put
it in the shows. It would definetly pull alot of attention. Of course
like I said, I dont know your financial situation, and whether you can
afford to do it. I know I would love to, but then again I am in FL where
everyday is bright sunshine with 85 degree weather.
Anyways, good luck in whatever you decide to do, and keep us posted.

-R

Thats a gorgeous car you have there. I think you'll be able to just repair it w/o too much cost. The engine and main body it still very intact. You have any other pictures?

That's true that Lexus save my life....I think the car is totaled...but frame is stright. Everything else seem to be ok....except the body panel and the roof of the car as you can see in the pictures.
