Over the last 2 years, I have seen over 8 accidents that involves a Lexus IS 250, I don't want to pin this down to anything but it's obvious that most yahoo Boys like the car and they buy it every now and then.

Knowing the wayward life of yahoo Boys, they are always reckless when they drive and most are either high or drunk thus the number of accidents involving this car. But one thing I've noticed in all of these accidents is the level of damage on that car every time.

JohnBullMySon:
You have your answer already. Considering that Yahoo boys are the highest patronizers, with the way they speed like deranged people, once they crash their car, it's always a write off.

BTW hope you know that cars are deliberately built to destroy extensively following a crash? It's for a very good reason.

Kelvin30286063:

What could that reason be?

Kelvin30286063:

That's an Acura but you can't compare since I'm sure you have no idea what happened to that car. That is probably an accident that involved a truck. I'm talking of lone accidents that still rendered IS250 useless.
Some months ago, some boys were driving fast at night in Ondo here. Some say they were being pursued by police, some said no one was chasing them but what I know is they crash the car into a pole and sent it tumbling a few times. That IS250 was moved to a dump site at the same location I visit when I want to repair my car. The vehicle is a write off. I looked closely and I can tell you, there is absolutely nothing that's still useful in that ride.
Before you ask, the boys didn't die but even till now, all three are still in the hospital with multiple broken bones.
Now another scenario, 4 boys, driving a benz, coming from Lagos. Met the accident along Benin road, car was hit by a truck from being and the force sent the car tumbling several times. I met the 4 boys there, looking at the damages on the car. They are fine. Yes the car took a hit everywhere but it stood and they could still get out.

Just look at this guy

Sometimes I go see topic for this cartalk and I go wan join talk, give my opinion

But over time I don notice say many people wey dey post things here, no really sabi much about cars and how they work, most things they post, na from ignorance

You, na good example.

So you no sabi say IS350 and IS250 na exactly the same shape and size?

The front and rear parts of a car are designed to break apart following a crash, this dissipates energy and reduces the chances of the middle section suffering serious damages and killing occupants.

kingreign:

You're right. But the front and rear arent designed to beak apart, rather, they're designed to crush or crumple progressively and in a controlled manner whilst dissipating the force of impact around the body, this leaving the safety shell largely unaffected.

Kelvin30286063:

I was wondering where they got 300hp too. Obviously the size of that car can't carry a 300hp engine.

sexyto:
May be too much speed and weak roof structure.

Wickedfacts:
Not only ls250, do you know how many people that useless RX330 has killed along that Benin Ore Rd?

Olifiz:


Really!!??

Most is250 carry a 4gr engine which is better and bigger than a venza v6 engine with 2GR. Is250 is a heavy car and very fast. I own a Camry 010 v6 with 2GR engine and with 256HP and also driven a 2008 is250 v6 with 4GR engine is just faster and heavier than the Camry.

What's fast about an IS250? A meagre 204hp.. how can it be faster than the Camry or even an Avalon if thosr cars aren't faulty. Maybe you drove an is350

Back to OP more frequent accident with that car is due to its speed which relates to the body weight compared to the engine. It’s a fast car

There is an Ondo town in Ondo.

davidque:


Seems you didn't know that there is a town called ondo inside ondo state. Ondo town is the second largest city after akure in ondo state

Wickedfacts:


There is a city in Ondo State called Ondo Town. Akure is the state capital.

Personally I don't think a car should be severely damaged if a big truck is not involved.
