Default Killed a Black on Black Lexus GS430 today
On my way to work and tire blew ( I think), pulled me into a ditch, hit an ATT box, and flipped. I know I will never find another one like it so not sure what to look for now. It was an 01 with 85,xxx in phenominal condition.

In better times:

Wow, thought this was a racing story where you killed another GS, but sorry to hear you got in such a horrific accident. Glad you survived and are well enough to post, but definitely get yourself checked out. Another incidence to prove how well the 2nd gen GS is built, to be able to protect you as well as it did in a flip. Sorry to see such a fine specimen in a wreck, but in the end you survived, and that's what's important.

This makes me really like my GS even more, safety reasons. You were able to climb out of this accident and take pictures after it was laying on its side.
Sad to see such a nice car go down. Is it totaled?

Your ok and that's all that really matters. You will be able to find another car but you can't replace your life. Sorry for the loss of hte car. You will find another. It's out there.
