VIP LS400 TO THE MAXXX!

well this sucks! sittin in my apt with my girl watchin a movie. all of a sudden someone knocks on my door to tell me a tree fell on my car. i was like wth? you gota be trippin, i didnt believe it at first, and when i walked outside, sure enough there was a huge branch on my car. hopefully my insurance will cover it? i guess  this is more a RIP to the MAXXX.

its not actually as bad as it looks. the windshield is done for, sun roof is done, the hood is encaved but hopefully theres no engine damages. the dashboard is a little messed up. and hopefully the impact didnt damage my suspension..

ive seen posts like this before, but to be honest, i never thought it would happen to me..

damn that sucks...if the roof is caved in, then it's a goner...

damn such a clean first gen.... sorry to hear that. hope it turns out for the better

Crazy!  Sorry to hear/see

i'd just strip everything off and sell what i can and start over, but that's just me.

wtf?!? :pat:

Wow!!

might do a part out or sell it as is if anyone is interested. all it really needs is a windshield, sunroof, and a hood, and fix the driver door. everything else is clean.

at least you can tell people you're crazy dumpt now? :smiley-rofl:

sorry i had too. :biggthumpup:

Damn that sux....on another note I actually wish a tree would fall on my car:smiley-rofl:

double post.

dammm  sorry man :biggthumpup:

dude thats the worst, I can say for sure I wouldnt be NEARLY as calm as you if that shit were to happen to me.  I hate to be the vulture but I would want your stock wheels if you did decide to part out.  This could be a perfect excuse to find another one though 93 is the year to have and yours looked really mint. :sad:

damn that sucks..hope insurance will pay for it.  
you can do a convertible LS... =)

wow that sucks. sorry to see that. hopefully ur insurance will cover it instead of find a way to get away from this.

nah my insurance isnt covering it. haha yeah stupid dumpt now. 

trust me bro i was pissed. but u know theres not much i can do, ins aint covering it. i put a claim into the city and havnet heard from them yet.

if you want a tree to fall on your shit, go somewhere downtown on a windy rainy day and park under an decently lookin old tree with 80 foot branches hangin off and guaranteed one will fall! hah thats how it happened to me.

oh yeah, she was def mint! 34x,xxx miles though, but still runnin strong as hell. but i guess its better than eventually dieing on me on the road being stuck somewhere hella far u know? it was about time to get rid of this.

^Damn insurance won't cover it?? that sux...not trying to be nosey but did you have full coverage? if not I could see them not covering it but if you did have full coverage that's foul.

that sucks bro, let me know if you part out, my cousin will pick up some parts

Damm that sucks Darrel...  Funny thing was when I was at thunder valley i looked up to the TV and saw u on the news...haha

that should fall under comprehensive coverage...that really sucks.  Now you just need spacers...

kidding

let us know how it goes with the city

wow that sucks

haha daamn.. yeah hella people said they seen me on the news and shit haha. yeah i only had liability, but idk about the city, hopefully they cash me out. i gotta call on monday.

i might possibly part it out, or im going to try to flip it on craigslist if anyone is interested, give me an offer. most likely going to be buying a new white hood so it`ll look legit. all that needs fixing now is the sunroof.

that was you on the news with the long hair?  haaha...seen that shit...

Youtube link anyone?

dam... i vote for a convertible conversion!

heres the video of me haha

Aftermath didnt look too bad in the vid
you on the other hand look like a major pot head!

I was about to say the damage doesnt look to bad! Id gamble you were able to drive away from that mess

hey, is the city going to pay? if not i would get a lawyer and file a law suit.... someone has to pay ..if it is on a city owned street then city has to pay.. if it isn't then the Appt/ association has to pay.. i would consider switching insurance after this dilemma .... good luck bro

yeah, if the city doesnt pay, im most likely going to file a law suit, cuz bro what do we pay taxes for? to keep the roadways clean, for the city to clip tree branches, to pay ppl for their unemployment blah blah blah. 

I did some research:

5.3 BILLION - let me get like $1200 atleast! Thats BS, how can the city MISS AN 80 FOOT BRANCH THATS AS THICK AS YOUR 10-11in wide RIM, MAYBE EVEN THICKER!!!

besides the windshield being smashed, yes i was able to drive away, i actually drove around the corner with the window smashed to get it replaced haha. 
bro these cars are waaay over engineered, becuz it was the first luxury for lexus to compete with mercedes, jaguar, etc. these things will last forever, including if a 80 foot branch fell on it. ill take some damage shots later.
