Angry friends don't let friends drive their cars!

I let a friend of mine borrow my car over the weekend. He wrecked it doing 150 on the freeway. Guess it doesn't pay to be nice!

Sheesh...going 150? Not a very responsible friend. I'm surprised you still consider him as a friend after such actions/results...I guess you must be a very forgiving person...hehe. Sorry to hear of your loss...hope your friend is ok.

That wrecked LS looks better than most cars in good condition. Hope your friend is rich. If there was another car involved that guy can sue you even though you weren't driving.

Not much a "friend" if they are that irresponsible to take anothers personal property and abuse it. Add to that the risk of life not only to him/herself but the others sharing the highway. Better he/she was in the car alone than taking you along for the ride also.

Hope this works out for you.

Default I'm writing this off as a lesson learned.

I won't be letting anyone drive my cars again. At least no one was hurt. He said he spun the car three times. Take a look at the tire. It completely shredded.

Unhappy front passangers side

This is the last pic. Sorry they are not better quality. If anything, this accident is a tribute to how safe the LS 400 is. It always gets great safety ratings. My x friend walked away without a scratch.
