What did you do to your GS today?

Question, do you leave the cover off the timing belt like that? I would be nervous that something would fall down in there and make it jump.

I spent over $3000 on my car to make it perfect about 2 weeks ago, (rear springs, axle shafts, ball joints, front end parts, timing belt service, door actuators, etc etc) so it's drive worthy for my 16 year old daughter, and she totals it.
And the worst thing about it is, she doesn't even feel bad about it. (we have another vehicle she likes driving, it's our 'fun' Jeep Wrangler)
Well, that Jeep is going on Craigslist this week. I'm selling it. My daughter ain't getting crap to drive, and she can walk to school. It took a totaled car for me to realize, I've spoiled my family beyond help.
I'm done with this crap. I'm sure some of you out there understands where I come from. I'm done being an ATM. DONE!

That bites. My GS just rolled over 296k miles. It still runs awesome, but now I need to toss tires on this year on to my summer 17's and fix the actuators (I have them, just need some warm weather) and then deal with some rust.
Yours doesn't look that bad honestly. Unless somehow the unibody frame it tweaked that isn't too bad to fix.
Maybe one day she will appreciate what she had when she has to pay for it herself.
My 3 of 4 oldest kids want my GS, but not sure about them being in the lineup to get it. Maybe after 400k miles....

Did you have collision on it?
EDIT: I would take a GS over a Wrangler, any (dry, lol) day.

Yes, I had collision on it, insurance is paying me 4600$, damage was estimated at 5300$. Frame was bent as you can see the rear wheel facing outward (and we all know that this car never had 4 wheel steering) Insurance is picking it up next week, if you guys wanna come by and pick out the 4 brand new door lock OEM Lexus actuators, some nice springs, front end parts, batt, rear axle shafts (although one of them might be bent now) , all brand new Lexus parts, come get them... lol.

It's black interior, Navi, Mark L. sound, there wasn't a single option that was skipped on this car. Only 160k miles, the thing ran brand new, the leather looked and even smelled new, after all these years. (they don't make cars like this anymore)

Whatcha gonna get as the new DD? If my 430 gets killed, I may be looking for a GS/LS460.

I wonder what amount they would have taken off if you wanted to keep it? My 99 XLE V6 Camry was totalled in 2013. They gave me 4400 (Was not mint and had 168k on it) for it. They would only dropped 500 off it if I wanted to keep it with a salvage title.
