Unhappy Car Was Crashed. Pics.

Hey guys... well my mom was driving in parking lot and she turned to early and hit the concrete wall... the wall won. Check out the damage... what a **** off.. although i forgive my mom as long as she repairs the damage.. i guess its ok.. here are pics...

somehow im not pissed or sad... just annoyed... also my 240 wont start... but somehow i dont care right now

still very sad though.. just thought i would share this with you guys. i think we need a new quarter panel but the door can just be repainted. Can any mods come out of this? talk to u later guys.

im kinda glad i dont have those wheel spacers yet cause my rim would be really messsed up and so would my tire

wow that sucks. Sorry to hear about it. Get it fixed!


well the only mod I can think of is blister fenders. That's probably what I would do if my rear fenders and 1/4 panels are jacked up.

wel... it wasn't a crash, and she called me before she got home.. she simply turned to early in a parking lot and clipped the wall... so i really knew she was fine.. esspecially since she called first.. she really thought i would be mad.. but of course in a seriuos accident i would be more concerned about her..

the annoying thing is this didnt need to happen and i dont know why or how someone thats driven that parking lot for about 1 month already and has been driving for 35 years could make such a silly mistake!! oh well.. i guess in the end it is HER car.. but i still love it

Oooh....this is so amazing!

About a couple of weeks ago (when I found out my Blue Lex was stolen) , I was backing up my driveway at home and hit the neighbors house too ( I was kinda pissed).

Looks kinda like the same design....except in the front fender...Greddy Lip screwed up...etc...

You know what...the concrete walls here in NJ win too!

My dilemna now is whether to return to my trustworthy body shop or try my luck somewhere else. I haven't decided and it looks like I'm driving in the worst condition of the car ever.

This month has been horrible. Hope things get better!

Sorry to hear that! It looks like a easy fix tho so don't worry yourself to death. I remember when my wife backed my GS into a solid concrete wall at her job parking lot, Shes been parking there for 2yrs.

I guess that’s why they call it an accident. I'm glad to hear your mom is ok and remember, you car can be repaired, not you or your mom.

Default ALOT OF WORK

Glad to see the damage was not worse. Still... be prepared fo some work to be done. Along with the body work, paint on the 1/4 panel which extends to the roof and to the A-pillar. Door painted with a blend into the front door. A good shop will also blend into the trunk and rear bumper.

Man Sasha, that's too bad. I'm glad it wasn't a serious accident though, no injuries I mean.

Hehehe, curb feelers, that's good! I wonder how many folks actually know what those are. Can you imagine those on a GS, or any Lexus for that matter? Maybe we could get one of the photoshop gurus to work up a pic just for the laugh.
