well driving home I fell asleep at the wheel and ran off the road and hit a light pole. Fortunatly I am ok just some nice cuts on my head and arm.

wow dude that sucks, but good thing your ok

holy cow!! at least you are alive.

That's awful! Sorry to hear about your car, but thank goodness that you weren't badly hurt. I see that the steering wheel bag didn't inflate, but the side air bad did. You skidded sideways into the pole, I take it? Looks like blood on the side air bag, did the side airbag do its job?

Man!! Glad to hear you are OK! I hate to see and LS look that way but by the way the LS looks it seems to have saved your life with the air bag depolyments.

I bet you're really liking that 5-star crash rating now, eh? Damn, that looks bad; I'm glad you walked away from that one period, let alone with only cuts and bruises...

yea i went of the road did some spins and smacked the pole with my driver door. so no front airbag just the side, yea it did its job, the cut in my head needed 17 staples and me ear needed around 32 stiches to fix, there was blood all over me an my car.

and also if anyone knows of a 2001-2003 ls or ls-E must be v8 for sale let me know (southern states perferibly)

Glad to here your ok and also going to get another ls. I would watch I think it is offleaseauto.com it has good usually southern cars. This might be the wrong page, but someone will chime in if it is not the right site.

i'm thinking of selling mine. It's a navy blue 02 v8 sport. it only has 29k almost 30. I want to get an 04-05 ls. I would sell it for 18k. It's in mint with only some scratches. The bad part is I live in New York. Let me know

I'm getting those scratches buffed out next week in case you are wondering

HOLY COW!!!!What are you gonna do with the intake, and any other mods. Thats terrible, Do u have any pics of your head, not to be rude. Man thats sucks to hear. Was there any alcohol involved?

Was there any alcohol involved?
Who needs alcohol when you have fatigue? :rolleyes:

Hopefully, it was just what he said it was, and, if not, let's hope that he's smart enough to avoid posting information in a public forum that could be used against him...

bummer dude. funny that sometimes the worst accidents are ones that dont even involve other drivers. glad to hear youre in one piece, and hell yea for going right back to another LS!

no ther was no alcohol involved just tired, drove home from florida after being on the beach all day. hopefully i will get another ls if i can find one, i loved my car it was elegant, sporty, just right for me.

DAM!!! thank god your ok !!

Here's some advice you didn't fall asleep you were avoiding a deer.
glad ur okay though and really glad nobody else got hurt.

-Whenever I'm in somebody else's car and not driving I never fall asleep. Saved my ass once, maybe my life.

Someones looking out for you. Good luck on the next one.

I have my LS-E for sale if you are interested. I'm just up the road from you in Knoxville.

Sorry bro..I fell asleep in my first car too, at least you were as lucky as you were to come out of it with minor scratches. Thats what happened with me, but at least it was the car and not you.

Yeah hey man I'm glad you see you walked away from that as well. Best wishes to you bro and good luck on the new car search!

Oh man, that sucks, glad that you are ok.

Glad to hear that you are OK. Too bad about the car though. I definately agree to the below statement though....deer, dog, jackelope...something LOL

Well, your LS sacrificed itself for you and that is the important thing.

Gotta love those air bags. They may have saved your life. The car is just iron and can be replaced. Thank God you're alive to talk about it.

You can always replace the car but you can never replace the driver. Thank GOD you are all right. glad to have you still with us. YOU ARE BLESSED.

i'm sorry to hear this man. but glad you are OK.

glad to hear you made it out ok! Yikes.

I have an 03 LS V8 Sport with 35K on the clock with the 6yr/75K CPO warranty good until 01/03/09. I'll even throw in the Xcal2 with the PRP for it as well. PM me for details.

newnanls, i hope it is not too soon to ask this, but since I see you are asking about new cars I think it is ok.

will you be parting out the RIP LS?

well the insurance company is gonna own the car soon and i cant take anything major out of it, but let me know what u want and mybe i can help you out but i did take my induction kit off so that will be for sale shortly. let me know something.

Damn bro, sorry to hear about the accident, glad that your alive though.

So are they giving you much for the LS?

newnanls let me know about that intake. I would be more than happy to take it off your hands if anyone doesn't.

good to see that your OK, 5 star rating did the trick and saved your life, thank god, but look at the bright side you will appreciate DUNKIN DONUTS coffee more now, make sure we all pick up a cup on our way back home in memory of our good friend NEWNANLS old LS. :)

thanks for the offer, I was going to ask to buy the center console, since it looks the same color as mine, but now that I think about since I had a 5spd it will be different by the shifter.

Your LS gave its life to save yours.

a brief moment of silence please...

Glad to see you are ok.
