Bullet riddled SUV slams into new 08 xB!

This happened on our lot last night! New xB, loaded with 19" TRD wheels, fog lights, all kinds of accessories. First day on the lot, and BAM!!!

You are absolutely right! There was an RS 5.0 parked RIGHT there. It is sold, too!! That would have been really sad...

Good eye!

Not sure yet. The SUV hit the front and pushed it up unto a curb. So, the whole front end is messed up, including the hood, and the back is messed up too. It will all depend on if the frame was bent from impact at both ends...

It's at the body shop right now. KGW posted another article about it. The first car hit was an off duty Gresham cop, and the guy turned into oncoming traffic for no reason.

I haven't heard yet. I know one of the wheels will have to be replaced, the whole front bumper, one headlight, both fog lights, the billet grill, and most likely the hood. Also, the back bumper where it was pushed onto the curb...
