  1. Skperformance: I appreciate having read RX in NC’s opinion of you - it does seem to be accurate, and it is evidenced by several instances in your post to me. I don’t know why the officer said that a police report would only be filed if the actual damage to any and all parts of my vehicle totals more than $1,000.00, and that labour costs and taxes should not be included. I trust that he would know the letter of the law better than I would since he probably has more experience in that regard, in addition to probably having received intensive pertinent training. I did not take any pictures of the damage, so therefore I could not post any. I found your assertion to be ludicrous - I’ll quote - “Once you show up to make a report they have to make one . Except with you it seems.” I doubt that the police will respect you as an unquestionable authority in that regard! And then, to your credit, you even do admit that you are being condescending by your question - “Could it be it is a scratch on the bumper and you want the trunk and both 1/4's blended and a new set of tires ?” No, I didn’t take any pictures of the damage, so therefore I could not post any. But I did have a damage estimate from a reputable collision repair shop in Waterdown, ON. when I visited the police department. Your following statement “Like most people who come to the Internet hoping to rant and rave over something they rarely post true facts that are irrefutable, like pictures.” I’ll leave it up to any other viewers on this site to form an opinion as to whether or not my initial post validly can be described as ranting and raving. My reference to the fact that your spelling is often inaccurate was intended to indicate that you do appear to have a problem dealing with factual evidence. Now do you understand that? As a reply to your pathetic attempt at ridicule as evidenced by your statement “I hope you have finally learned in all your years of spelling how to drive properly now.” Yes, as a matter of fact, in my 45 years of driving experience, I have never caused my insurance company to pay to repair any other person’s vehicle, nor for any injury either to anyone else or to myself. Nice try, though! Then you lamely assert - “The best thing is not to drive in to a spot ,especially one you cannot drive out of safely which you should have noted before exiting the car.” Have you ever noticed that a driver who has parked in a partially vacant portion of a parking lot may, on occasion, return to his or her vehicle to obsrve that other vehicles have, in the meantime, parked alongside, thereby obstructing the view? And your comment - “Pay attention to WHAT ?! Did you explain yourself before ? Yes , that was the sound of a resounding NO in your head!” somehow doesn’t seem to correspond to the degree of impartiality and competence which a viewer would expect from a management member on this site. To refute your assertion that I “like to whine and complain,” take the time to reread my initial post, and don’t be so ready to shoot from the lip, as another poster has accurately confided. Your hypothetical rant about a customer of McDonald’s, although far-fetched, does merit a reply. Yes, if I was a customer of McDonald’s and my car was hit on a McDonalds’s parking lot by a McDonald’s employee who was driving carelessly, I would probably believe that McDonald’s franchise holder to be somewhat culpable, and the issue itself worth reporting to McDonald’s headquarters so that an investigation might ensue. You claim that “There is no right/wrong side of the road on private property.” I believe that a two lane traffic artery would reasonably be expected to have one lane in one direction, and the other lane in the opposite direction, unless otherwise indicated. Here, in Canada, the lane to the right is the uniformly established avenue for forward vehicular traffic. Hopefully you do actually realize that! Your senseless and baseless comments regarding “ brush off ... being persecuted ... the Hubble telescope” demonstrates your inability to be rational, or even competent, in this regard. My intention is not to attack you, but it is evident that you do leave a trail leading to nowhere worthwhile by your reply. Since you do “know the manager of the dealership ... As well as having a more than few contacts at Toyota Head office,” would you care to be helpful as a management member of this site by actually providing a few of their names and contact numbers or addresses? You sure seem to be thin-skinned by your words “But that must be a lie because why would they cohort with someone who can't spell.” When did I ever say or insinuate that? Obviously you choose to live in a world of assumption - that validity has been mildly proven by me, but so much more explicitly by you own words. Thanks for your “Just a word of advise” - I think that you meant advice. Never once have I claimed to be a victim. But right from the start you insisted that I am “upset so (I am) leaving the facts out.” Somehow, you haven’t competently supported that false assumption! My initial post related in detail the events of the collision which happened, where it happened, and who I and a witness maintain was responsible. That post was positioned in an appropriate topic location on this Lexus Owner’s website. I also stated that an employee of the Lexus Canada Customer Service Department gave me the “brush-off” by refusing my request that my complaint be forwarded to a higher level of administration, and that I be provided with relevant contact information. I believe that my request, as a Lexus vehicle owner, is not unwarranted or unreasonable. After all, isn’t Lexus official motto - The relentless pursuit of excellence? I found this comment of your’s amusing - “How you read the original post shows who you are and your emotional state to argue with anyone you can wether they are trying to sift through the information or laying blame.” Would you please explain how my original post would ever show that, as you say, I am ready “to argue with anyone”? My original post was not directed to anyone specific, so how could I have honestly demonstrated that I would be ready to argue without any comment from anyone? Don’t you realize that you’re not being logical in that regard? But in summation, I note that your management member’s description as “Official LOC Bad Speller” is evident and accurate - Congratulations!
  2. RX in NC - Thanks for your initial comments to SKperformance, and now your direct reply to me. Did you notice the first line of SKperformance’s reply to me regarding the detailed report which I submitted to Lexus Canada? He states - “It has nothing to do with Lexus Canada, as well they just forwarded it to the dealership.” I did not mention in my post that Lexus Canada forwarded my detailed report to Lexus Erin Mills. Either he assumed that would have happened, or else he had inside knowledge in that regard. That is why I suspect that he somehow might be a Lexus Erin Mills employee or hired spokesperson for that dealership. Thanks again for your correspondence.
  3. Skperformance - It has everything to do with Lexus Canada - that entity has granted a license to Lexus Erin Mills to conduct business on its behalf. How do you know that Lexus Canada forwarded my report to the dealership? Are you an employee of or a partisan to that dealership? When I visited the dealer, I spoke to the supposed executive in charge, and when I asked for the name and business card ask of the dealership president, no information or card was provided. I didn’t call the police for an accident report - I drove to the local police station to request and file one, but the officer on the main desk stated that established policy is to ignore performing that function if the total cost of the damage, excluding labour costs and taxes, is below $1,000.00. Although the property is private, Lexus Canada does have a financial interest in how its dealer operates its business, and the degree to which it conforms to Lexus Headquarters customer service policy. To be factual - I didn’t “move at a high rate of speed in a compund that is 40 feet long”. I believe that you misspelled the word “compound”. The irresponsible Lexus employee who was driving the Service Manager’s SUV was the person who accomplished that irresponsible feat. And what leads you to state falsely your forty foot long reference? That’s unsupported by fact! Yes, to you who appears to be, but may not be, a Lexus Erin Mills employee (evidence - your false forty foot long reference), my post probably “is not making alot (did you mean a lot?) of sense. Although I am justifiably upset, I am not “leaving the facts out,”and I do challenge you to reveal any facts which I have omitted! The dealership, by its obstinate determination to ignore my complaint, and by “all the wrongs the dealer or driver did” has placed rightful blame on itself. Since you asked - while cautiously attempting to back out of a restricted view parking space, I did everything possible to view any possible oncoming traffic, and I tried to ensure that my vehicle was visible to any possible oncoming vehicles. I completed that manoeuver as a 3-step process - backed up a few feet, and stopped, backed up a few more feet and stopped, and then backed up again, AND STOPPED! YES, that is true! When the collision occurred, the other driver’s vehicle was seen through my back window only as a blur - hence, the reckless speed accusation, which is supported by the witness. No, I was not “attempting to make a left or right from the dealer onto the public road” - I was STOPPED at least 40 feet away from the public road. Moreover, the other driver had been going the wrong way in an incoming traffic lane. THOSE ARE THE FACTS! Lastly, your concluding sentence shows that you are unable to pay attention to detail - “If you were the one turning then unfortunatly (do you mean unfortunately?) it is your fault as the other driver no matter how negligent in skill he was had (kindly explain the meaning of those 3 words used together) the right of way." Nice try - you have revealed quite a bit about yourself as your attempt to justify the irresponsible driver, and instead, cast the blame at me. I’m sure that the viewers on this Lexus blog site can and do note our personal differences in analysis, responsibility, competence, and attention to detail.
  4. Recently I visited Lexus Erin Mills dealership in Mississauga, ON. Canada to price a part for my recently purchased used 2000 Lexus GS300. As I was attempting to leave the parking lot, my vehicle was struck and damaged by a Lexus dealership employee who was driving at an excessive speed, in the wrong direction of an incoming traffic lane, less than 50 ft. away from a street sidewalk. The dealership Service Manager, who owns the SUV which hit my vehicle, immediately, without having actually witnessed the collision, claimed that I was at fault. Thankfully, another Lexus customer, who was within 40 ft. of the collision, volunteered to act as a witness, and maintains that the dealer's employee was responsible for the damages which exceed $1,450.00, because he was driving at a grossly irresponsible and reckless high rate of speed as he attempted to swerve past me in the dealership parking lot. That incident does not comply with my idea of what Lexus Customer Service proper courtesy should be. I directed an email to a Lexus Canada Customer Services representative to request that my accompanying collision report be directed to the individual who ultimately heads his department, and I requested the name and position of that executive. I received a form letter "brush-off", which did not provide the requested administrator identification. Am I being unreasonable in my request, and why would Lexus Canada Customer Service Department ignore and dismiss that request? If need be, I am willing and prepared to direct this claim to Lexus Headquarters international for due, proper, and fair compensation. I would appreciate obtaining the names and positions of any Lexus executives who might willingly and competently provide resolution of my complaint!
