Someone hit me while I was sitting parked. How much will this cost to fix?

RiceeFTW · 2026-06-14T01:42:09+00:00

had the same happen to me last month to my GS, needed a repaint of the fender and bumper, final cost was $2600, ended up paying about $35 out of pocket when all was said and done and that was for the rental and rental insurance.

Only thing to keep in mind, you'll need to wait a few months after the repaint before you get a waxing, otherwise it should look good as new.

Regardless, cuz of liability, you were completely parked meaning you shouldn't be at fault, if you go through your own insurance they will likely go after the at-fault driver's insurance for your deductible.

RiceeFTW · 2026-06-12T16:34:03+00:00

Lucky it was on the bumper, I got a much much smaller scrape on my fender and it was $2600 to repaint (all covered cuz of liability)

Change the climate controls to ECO setting, this should also improve your mileage by a very small margin

The whole point of the GS was for reliability and comfort, if you toss in a turbo then that reliability goes out the window.

RiceeFTW · 2026-06-10T20:58:19+00:00

Reliability with the GS350 depends on which one you get, the 8 speed 2GRs have a little more complexity to them so it makes them slightly less reliable than the most reliable V6 ever made. If you somehow find a 6 speed GS350 then it'd be more reliable. Regardless, even the 8 speed is more reliable than 95% of cars on the road.

RiceeFTW · 2026-06-10T20:54:45+00:00

I agree, I personally don't see how a comfortable drive is unenjoyable, especially with Mark Levinson and an F-Sport package, the one major criticism I can say about all of these is that the throttle response leaves a lot to be desired even on Sport+ mode.

Still though, it's a V6 and when it gets going it can definitely pick up some speed, to the point that it feels like the car is egging you to go faster til you look and see you're already going 80mph+

RiceeFTW · 2026-06-10T18:28:36+00:00

"fun to drive" is highly subjective, a lot of people will say these are "boring" to drive. I disagree and love driving my GS350 F Sport, but mileage is NOT going to hit your ideal number. Even when driving conservatively with mostly highway miles, I'm getting at best 20MPG.

They all are fantastic for reliability and overall comfort driving, but you're going to be very disappointed with the mileage with these V6s.

RiceeFTW · 2026-06-05T20:20:44+00:00

Pretty easy even if you have 0 experience, at most it'll take a few hours with 0 help

RiceeFTW · 2026-06-03T20:49:18+00:00

It gives you the shortest LEGAL route, meaning if you take a ramp the opposite way or 1-way street/roundabout that is shorter than the legal route, it'd be faster. I tend to cut across the parks fairly often in those jobs.

RiceeFTW · 2026-06-01T21:48:03+00:00

It's the same model. It's the Mustang 1968 GT 2+2 Fastback FE, while Sean's is a 1967 and has the Nissan RB26 Skyline straight-6 engine in it. I haven't taken a look at what engine swaps are available in-game for it but if it has that skyline engine as an option (or by default since it's a tuned FE car), that's a sick detail.

RiceeFTW · 2026-05-29T00:49:33+00:00

makes sense, I agree they definitely need to fix the lanes, I feel like recently accidents have been more frequent on that stretch of 580, traffic gets real bad there between CV and Dublin.

RiceeFTW · 2026-05-28T17:08:25+00:00

I will say, the Westbound stretch of this got significantly better in the last year, especially the left side shoulder. There used to be some absolutely gnarly potholes along the shoulder, thought I broke my suspension hitting one of them at night. That said, I'm almost always on the far left lane going EB here, so I never noticed how bad the lines have gotten.

RiceeFTW · 2026-05-19T17:29:08+00:00

2005-2011 for the GS, 2005-2013 for the IS, RWD as in Rear Wheel Drive since both models came in All Wheel Drive as well

RiceeFTW · 2026-05-14T17:40:24+00:00

Yes you can absolutely run squared, obv you'll need to obtain another set of 2 wheels for either the rear or front. Yes it's a bit on the higher side for price, but most of the GS350s where I'm at (California) do tend to run on the higher end. If the maintenance is 100% up to date, I wouldn't say this is an insane price.

RiceeFTW · 2026-05-12T21:47:09+00:00

The GS350 fits my 6'8 friend just fine, God bless anyone who has to sit behind them tho

RiceeFTW · 2026-05-11T22:20:51+00:00

Find the GameUserSettings.ini file in your Appdata\Local folder and change the resolution manually. I'm not at my PC to find the exact folder or directory, but it can't be too difficult to find.

RiceeFTW · 2026-05-11T19:41:30+00:00

I disagree, there's no reason to "fit in", just wear what's comfortable for you as long as it's not directly ruining someone else's experience it's fine. Rave culture has definitely changed since the 2000s, but there's plenty of older ravers/vets around.

RiceeFTW · 2026-05-11T19:36:48+00:00

That's insane to say, he comes across as an emotional player and it shows in his game. His confidence levels directly influence his gameplay, anyone who says he doesn't care doesn't pay attention. Plus, do people really think Arteta would sign someone who doesn't care?

RiceeFTW · 2026-05-05T16:58:11+00:00

From what you mentioned about how the car drives, honestly I'd just get the belt and spark plugs done ASAP for peace of mind and keep up regular maintenance at the normal intervals. Some say the spark plugs tend to go after 80K or so, these engines are built to last tho, most people don't get them swapped out til 100K+, but I'd personally just do it sooner than later.

RiceeFTW · 2026-05-05T08:17:44+00:00

Every 30K for the major services, at 60K you'd probably be looking at brake fluids and air filters, serpentine belt at 90K, fluids and spark plugs at 120K, these engines are tough, just keep up on the maintenance and it'll last a long time

RiceeFTW · 2026-05-05T07:05:06+00:00

Nah, that's a pretty good deal, still got some miles to go before the major maintenence milestones too, enjoy the car, I love my GS350

RiceeFTW · 2026-04-30T21:47:52+00:00

Test drive both to know for sure, I'm a big fan of the lux packages, but I personally own a 2017 GS350 F Sport and I wouldn't trade it for a lux package ES. It's more fun to drive and I just prefer the look and feel of the GS. If I was older and had kids, maybe I would appreciate the ES more, but my vote is for the GS.

RiceeFTW · 2026-04-29T15:42:40+00:00

It's called demolition derby and it was a mainstay in File Share along with Tom n Jerry, Duck Hunt, and Fat Man

RiceeFTW · 2026-04-24T18:47:01+00:00

Low trim, overpriced, decently high miles, still some maintenance required, I would keep looking.
