Damn that is a lot. They might just write it off.

Just got a call from ICBC. They have it at their shop. Should be estimated by Friday/Saturday.

I'm going to buy a dash cam. Does anyone notice the shittier the weather, the shittier the driver. Have a few close calls within today. I must be new to Vancouver.

:alone:

those go pro dash cams are fricken awesome. I have a some buddies that rock them in their 4x4 buggies and the shots they get are awesome

tow truck drivers are full retard definitely (minus a select few).

tried to tow my gf's mom's Volvo 850 (FWD) with the front wheels down... and yelled at me telling me that "wikipedia is wrong you moron, all volvos are RWD - you didn't know that?" R-Tard got it good when we arrived at Volvo and service guys had a big facepalm while he was unloading the car into the lot... "lot boy was yelling, WTF ARE YOU DOING MAN!!"

OMG. I just saw this thread. I feel so bad for you and your IS bro.

Im just glad you're okay. Really hope you can get the car sorted out! Keep us posted in this thread!

Wow thats savage, especially that tow truck driver.
Sweet ride too. Least ur ok!

Are you not glad a idiot like this is a tow truck driver and not in another profession where he makes life altering decisions where people's lives are at stake,like say a doctor,sergeon,lawyer,prosecutor or police officer.

my video has over 900 views on youtube now lol

she didnt make it :(

damages exceeded 10k

Damn, that blows. Its hard to save an already rebuilt car.
Have any future plans?

So sorry to hear that man...
Glad you are ok, but it sucks because you had one of the cleanest IS300's locally. Love the wheels, they are one of my favorites.

Thanks guys for the support. It's my first car. Sucks to lose it like that.


I have no idea. I'll know in a week the amount I get for it. But currently I'm looking for a cheap winter beater.

That's really sad man...
I'm still driving my first car, although I've thought about replacing her, I can't bring myself to let her go. To much sentimental value..

RIP IS300..

Good luck OP. I cant tell what the damages are really like from the photos, but if its not too bad you should do tubs + tube frame up front. :fuckyea:

God dangit... :( this was a CLEAN IS too...

Hopefully you find something good after the winter!

make sure you do your own research on value, they will give you a very deflated amount, you have to be able to counter with an educated value.

sorry to hear of your loss, i remember totalling my first ride due to idiot drivers who sped off after it happened. I'm glad you are okay.

Thanks guys.

Ya I started printing off receipts for recent work done on it.
I'm happy I was running my winters and not my summer wheels.

I have the stock wheels that I'd like to swap for the vets but my stocks don't have any rubber on them.
If anyone has 215/45/17s to give away. I'd do it. Those blizzaks are expensive.

:okay:. Man, if I had known about this sooner, I would have raided my shop's dead tire pile for the 215's from high-trim Toyota Matrix/Corolla wheels. It's that season, so I'll try.

thanks man. that would be awesome if you can find some.
they dont have to be 215s can be 225s/235s just as long as theyre 17s

Fer fuck sakes. I wish I read this earlier. I just sold a set of wheels with dead 205/50/17's on em.
