so mom got in an accident with her lexus IS

this is her car, she was going through the intersection and another car ran the stop sign at about 45mph and destroyed her front end. She was completley fine besides a little bit of soreness and brusing in her shins because of the floor airbag but thats it.

 

That should buff out.

Glad to hear she's ok. Thats the first time I have seen floor airbags...pretty neat concept to minimize knee injuries.

 

Damn!! I have never seen floor airbags, pretty cool

Glad she is ok.

 

Well im glad that she is okay and got away with just soreness cause it looks like it could have been worse.

 

x2

 

Yea that's not totaled. Floor air bags...impressive. And good to hear she's ok.

 

haha after it happend my mom asked me..... I want my IS back, you think they can fix it? haha uhhhhh a little ducktape for the bumper right lol

 

So you were in the car with her?

 

Mighty putty is some great stuff! She can always get a new one now. Shoot even if they managed to fix that, I wouldn't wanna drive it anymore.

 

sorry let me rephrase, i ment when i showed up at the accident she asked me if it could be fixed, but i was actually on a ride along with my dad when it happend.....went code 3 to the accident, passed the ambulence on the way there. oops

 

I was wondering since the passenger airbags deployed if there was someone in the passenger seat.

 

Glad she's ok.

 

yea thats exactly wat i told her, if they did fix it, it would never ride/run the same at all. Insurence we dont think is going to give us much for it though, it was an 06 with 97,000 miles :/ (but still ran like it came right off the lot)

 

that was one thing we were wondering too, there was no one in the passenger seat, but the airbag deployed. shouldnt have because i believe it has the sensor for weight? hmmm

 

lawsuit, may I again recommend

 

i used to drive one of those around... then traded in for a tacoma... glad to hear she is ok and those knee airbags are a nice touch

 

Damn. Good to hear she's ok. Thts the exact same car I swapped for my taco...now I know the out come if I have had an accident with it. Good to now.

 

x2. not too sure what to think about that. Glad she is ok though. looks like she is getting a new car.

 

did she have a purse or handbag up there that was heavy enough to trigger the sensor? I know some of them women that like to tote what feels like bricks along in those bags.

 

haha i actually think her purse was on the seat but yea i really dont think my mom could lug around like 80 pounds on her side lol
