Lexus GS430 Guzzler Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 So I go to work today, and park on the 5th level - AWAY from everyone else to avoid any dings on my beeutifool lexus. So I return to the car and what do I see? A HUGE FAT BLACK BIRD (crow or raven?) WALKING AROUND ON MY ROOF RANDOMLY PECKING AT ITS REFLECTION! wtf mother nature?! wtf?!
SW03ES Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Did it leake any damage? I had a seagull at the beach attack my back bumper because of its reflection, luckily it was right before the bumper was going in to be repainted anyways.
Lexus GS430 Guzzler Posted August 6, 2008 Author Posted August 6, 2008 Luckily, no. But it was pretty belligerent.
denslexusgx470 Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Honestly, the more we try to avoid damages to our cars, the more that the damage comes to our cars. That's what I've noticed with my car, usually I try to park it far from the rest, and still people (luckily no big scratches or dings from anything) park ridiculously close to my car, with the higher risk of door dings and what nots.
90LS400Lexus Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 When I used to drive my 2000 Toyota truck to work, it was a magnet for shopping carts and other cars. I was always finding new dents, scratches and dings. THEN I started driving my grandmother inherited 73' Pontiac Grand Ville (with THICK, high tensile metal) and the carts just bounce off. :P I was even rear-ended once on the way to work by a lady in a van and it did not even scratch it. I also used to drive my old 72' Buick Electra to work... same deal. Never any damage.
Lexus GS430 Guzzler Posted August 7, 2008 Author Posted August 7, 2008 a lot more stress and worry than my last car - my reliable ol 1991 Honda Accord. No dings on it. NONE! And I didn't care if anyone hit me, because the joke would be on them
Alexander the o.k. Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Ever come out of the grocery store, and see a shopping cart headed for your door panel in slo-mo? Murphy's Law of Dings says that you will be far enough away when you first spot it, that you will arrive .5 seconds after it hits, no matter how fast you run. Grrrrhhh.
Alexander the o.k. Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Chances are, that if this had been a Lexus, it would have been dinged within an hour of deployment.
Alexander the o.k. Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Dents? What dents? Just needs a wash....
eatingupblacktop Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Any dingn' to be done around here, I'll be doin' it!

I think Lexus's enrage some people, especially when you park far away from the herd. they are compelled to park their '89 Impala right next to you and 'accidentally' leave massive dings. i had some lady steal my gas pump yesterday when i was clearly waiting to back into it (and had been there 5 minutes already) never happened to me before in my beater '92 Civic. Oh well, people clear the left lane a lot more quickly when i'm in the GS 300 trying to maintain a good clip. It's a very aggressive car to appear in your rearview.
gs300awd Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Dents? What dents? Just needs a wash.... Let me guess. It's advertised as "Light hit Rear clip"

Mother nature is punishing you for buying the Guzzler 430 and not the Hybrid. Carbon foot print and all.
