Default My proof that Lexus make great cars

Some of you may recall my crash in 2004, where my choice of car was a major factor in me surviving the crash. Not only did I survive, but I walked away from the car without a scratch on me.

Here's the pictures to demonstrate how well made the cars we drive really are:

WOW!!. Man how many trees did you take out?? As my sig shows I totalled 2 'Lexi'. I have not scanned in the SC400, but I posted some pic's of my ES here before. There is no question Toyota built these things to crumple around us. As much as they coddle us during many miles of enjoyment, they certainly protect us very very well. I'm sure it has happened, but I have not seen where there were major injuries in accidents involving our cars.

You say this happened in '04. What are you driving now? EDIT...nevermind..I see your sig now

Nope. In the UK models, models from 89 to August 93 had NO airbags.
