Default Goodbye Club Lexus

Well about a week ago someone rear ended my 2006 IS250 AWD and Geico ended up totaling it out. I absolutely loved the car and it was my first luxury vehicle, but unfortunately I wasn't able to replace it with a Lexus. Ended up going with a 2016 Audi A3 Premium Plus, but anyways everyone here was very helpful and I'm impressed with how tight know the Lexus community is given the fact that everyone still thinks Lexus is for old people haha. The fact that I walked out of this accident without a scratch and barely any back or neck pain speaks volumes about the build quality of their vehicles and I'll be a lifelong fan of the brand. With that said over and out everyone!

Damn! Fast enough to permanently imprint their own license plate into your bumper!

The crumple zones did their job, and not a single ripple in the A,B, or C pillars or the roof! Lexus build quality right there!

Glad you made it out okay. He must have been going at least 40 MPH to do that kind of damage
