Default Sad Day: Stryker Blue GT totaled

Last Tuesday some idiot t-boned me downtown Houston only 1 block from my work and state farm had declared it a total loss. Only 40K miles in perfect shape before the accident. Owned it since new with 13 miles on it. So sad, its just one of those cars you cant replace. Just had to vent!

Is this the car I used to see by Letsos Co and a Gray Mechanical? By far my favorite G8 color.

You should buy it back and part it out. G8 parts are in demand.

I got me a Sierra crew cab loaded out with the 6.2. I can buy it back for a little under 4600. But that is money I could spend modding the truck. Probably just going to go ahead and get it. Seems to be about 10000 worth of parts I could sell. Car was running and driving and did not lose any fluids just front driver suspension is messed up whole passenger side and interior is perfect also. What do you guys think?

I have a 2009 SBM GT with 38,000 miles. I don't think you did too bad for getting $24,000 from insurance.

If I was offered that, I would probably be selling mine.

Parting it out will get you a lot of money over the coming years.
