Bryon, you should buy it off the insurance company and wreck it out...

Glad you are OK. Cars can be replaced or fixed, so it's good that your hospital visit was short...

It got to the beaters today. Looks very much like it will be written off. Rail is bent, engine is on an angle, floor is lifted, firewall is seprated from the skirts, RH skirt is wrapped around the brake booster, RH side doors and B billar are flat, RH sill is flat, tub is bent. Looks like engine broke off it's mounts - oil filer sits about 8" from the battery yet it has smacked the battery. Looks like top of LH front Commodore wheel hit the rail and the LH rear Commodore wheel impacted the driver's side back door (big donut on door with the top of the wheel mark level with the window line). I got it powered back up today and driver's window closed, CD played ejected and radio and wipers came on. Bit sad to bring it back to life for a few minutes, only to turn it off permanently! Got the fitted sheepskin cover off, E-tag, floor mats and tow hitch. Unless it is covered by Insurance audio shop will remove the Sat-nav DVD system tomorrow and put the original back. I've tried to find one in Australia but it looks like there are no V6 auto SR5's around, engine and box are Japanese made and all Japanese parts are not exporting at present. There are diesels around in 2011 spec but they really lack in performance (gutless 3.0L diesel cr@p!). May have to accept a D4D manual and sell it immediately to one of those misinformed people out there who think they are good!
