UPDATE! Scroll Down
Hey all I'm new to CL. I've been lurking around here and had an accident in my IS350 and figured I'd let you guys know. I was coming out of a Wally World and took a turn, then everything kinda blurred and I was up a curb not even on the road, and this is what happened. More info below the pics.







They told me the car would be ready today but by the looks of it its a ways off. They have had it since Oct 12. Bull right?

Thanks,
Austin
