It will be so cool when our IS 500s will be viewed as the car on the right....That day will come, and we will be gone (lol)

Totally! The Infrared’s shimmer is no joke. I wondered what was going on with the door… 😂

Had the family in the car and they complain I'm always taking pictures of the car . LOL, so they were trying to disrupt my rhythm, but I was persistent and adamant that I was going to take this shot at dusk !

My IG account was created because my friends and family grew tired of the FB postings.

Well, y'all, it happened again. My car was hit while parked - this time by another car instead of a tree limb. It's even in the same general area of the car as before - on the driver's side towards the rear. "The sun was in my eyes." "Oh, you know that'll probably buff out."




Hopefully, this time, it won't be nearly as much work to fix, at least. I don't think anything is damaged beyond the paint itself. I don't see any dents. Luckily we exchanged info.

Just my regular reminder to park in the back of the parking lot.

Sucks, but should be good to go in no time. I've gotten to the point where I drop the family off at the front of the store, and then go park at the farthest corner of the parking lot (making sure there is only 1 parking spot adjacent to me), and then drive back to the front of the store to pick them up when they are done. I'm actually not joking. This has become more of common occurrence over the past while.

Not to turn this into an "Alex's damage repair thread", but the other party's insurance is accepting full liability.

I am scheduled with the body shop for Friday!

Oh that’s good! That dude is heinous, should’ve taken extra care if he couldn’t SEE. 🤬
