Default R.I.P my 6MT IS250
I hadent posted this as I was waiting foreverthing to be taken cared of with the insuance company but now that it has here it is. One month ago to the day I was involved in an accident that cause my car to be totaled. . It was a very sad moment for me but i knew right away the car was a total loss (the roof buckled). I really loved that car and even though a lot of people hate the manual gearbox i loved it and planed on keeping this car for quiet some time but life happens.

what she looked like before the accident








after













So after waiting one month to settle everything with the insurance (i had a lot of equity in the 250) I upgraded to this. Its a 2011 IS350 with only 4,000 miles. Has heated vented seats, woodtrim, navigation.

Yeah. That's pretty rough considering the roof buckled. Nice upgrade though, 350 FTW! But seriously, IS-F. LoL J/K. What's the plan for this one??

That looked nasty. Did you spin? You got the best color but much harder to keep clean compared to the TP. Glad everything worked out for you. The only thin I don't like is the NY Yankees plate frame! Haha

Definitely looks like he spun out and hit the wall a few times.

Part out your silver is and get some money for your black is!
