So I was wanting to know do you think my GX Is totaled or repairable?. I just hand washed it the night before took 3 HRs and now it doesn't even look the same
That’s unfortunate, I hope you and whoever was riding with you are okay. As far as it being totaled it’s really up to your adjuster. If the total amount is greater than the value of the car, yes they will total it. I had a LS460L that was worth 21k and had 18k worth of damage and they did not total it.
Ouch. I hope everyone was OK. It may be a total depending on the year. Given the visible damage (broken suspension and the visible body/light damage), I'd say $15k and likely more.
glad everyone is ok... from the looks of it there is at least 15k in damage there, that's assuming there are no major frame or driveline issues with the differential and cv axle getting ripped out or pushed in. I'll be curious to hear what the total comes to when it's all said and done
We let a friend borrow the car for a couple of hours and they fell asleep behind the wheel at turnpike speeds. the police said the car had reached speed of upto 115mph before crashing due to drivers foot still on accel. It's a 2018 and low miles 30k. The drove shaft and everything connected to wheel is broken

I hope your friend is OK. Looking at the pictures again, it looks as if there was an airbag deployment as well. With parts and labor I suspect that the repairs will exceed $25k. I hope the insurance company doesn't give you a hard time.
On a related note, if your friend has insurance, then you can claim against their insurance - otherwise your rates will go up.
Sorry to hear that. But as many had said, the important part is the driver and riders were OK. Since it was driven by your friend, he should have the insurance and I will certain pushing for "total it" given the amount of damages resulted from accident. If necessary, you need get some independent evaluations other than from insurance along. Good luck with everything and keep us posed with results.
On a positive note, with 115 mph speed on frontal collision as it is, it just proves again how well and safer to be in GX when you are carrying most precious cargos --- every passengers!
Airbags were not deployed. I also have full coverage on the car, but I honestly hope the car can just be fixed. I don't want to go threw the total process. I really loved this car. I spent a lot of labor hours on this car. I installed a dashcam, and it shows the whole scene of the driver falling asleep, so that's why I won't take action against the driver and one of the reasons I have the full coverage for unfortunate events like this. Honestly, the car is very strong considering its weight and shape.
I'm actually extra impressed and surprised at the lack of damage at 115 MPH and driver walked away... (may be a little GPS error as IIRC speed limiter is ~110 MPH)
