Argh! Hope the GX protected you and your family.

Now what? I just fen wonder what I'd replace my GX with if and when the day comes for me. Eager to hear your plans,

Ouch!!! Hope no one was hurt.

If you have the time and space, buy the car back from the insurance company and remove all the good stuff, Seats, Panels, headlights, tail lights, mirrors, door panels, alternator, PS pump, seat belts, little plastic trim parts, etc. Then call a junk yard to haul off the remains. Sell the stuff or keep it as spares for the next gx.

Hard hit, but sounds like you are OK. Cars can always be replaced.

Thanks for the concern, other than a lot of bumps and bruises, everyone is OK. Would have been much worse if I was driving a smaller car.

Great suggestion about buying the remains back from the insurance company, I'll give that a shot.

What year is it? I need headlights. As long as they're clear and looking good.

If you do decide to part it, make sure to let us know! There's a few odds and ends I could use as well.
