You bought a new car on Sunday and some idiot backed up into it mid day tuesday trying to parallel park while you were gone and just ran off without leaving a note!

anyways, this is my first post on the forum. i've been lurking around for a while but my other account never worked so i started a new one.

its not horrible, but the paint on the left half of the front bumper is all spidered, not cracked, but still... its my new baby and already been hit

anyways, just a few quick clicks i took of it today since we got sum sunshine.

Its a 2000
72,000 miles, after the drive up from LA....
got it for $9,000

almost prime condition, bought it from the original owner

now i really understand why u guys love the LS

thanks a lot... i got lucky and the old owner of it took amazing care of it

its got its scratches here and there, but i guess that's to be expected, and the interior is P.R.I.M.E!

Hey! someone who knows how to use a camera! Not only is the car in focus, but it is also exposed correctly. That's refreshing. No, "the car is Vivid Red, I dunno why it looks pink.", or, "no, really it's a black interior, the my camera makes it looks grey".
I love the first pic.

Well, it took a little more time and miles before the 1st idiot hit my new car..........

Purchased my only brand new car, a '98 WS6 T/A 'vert M6, literally off the showroom floor in 9/98. The day it rolled 4,000 miles the following summer I was attempting to get to the IROC race at MIS. Got a late start up and didn't make it in time to get into the track (friggin' traffic on M-12 backed up for 30 miles), so headed back to Coldwater for lunch. I was stopped in the left lane behind a truck turning left a few cars in front of me, when traffic in the right lane cleared, I switched lanes to go around on the right. JUST as I was passing the turning truck, grey-hair granny in her POS Celebrity came turning left from the opposite direction and slammed into my driver's door. I attempted to swerve right to miss her (too late) and ended up going up over the curb on the corner of the intersection, right between two street sign posts, missing both (thank god). $6800 worth of damage that MY insurance had to pay for due to MI's friggin' no-fault insurance laws.

Nicely done and welcome to the family.
