your g's body will never be the same if they try to fix it.... i'm sure the body got tweaked despite looking like it held up.. i'd hate to be driving a car that dog-tracks while it rolls down the road...looks retarded, cause i've seen pickups dog-track and it is a flip-out seeing them making turns and trying to keep straight....your suspension and suspension mounting links/brackets looks like they are shot too... glad you came out okay though... peace...

Ouch! Glad to read that you are well. That could have ended up much more serious. Whew!

HORRIBLE. I'm glad your ok. Your G was beautiful - I usually don't even like the sedans, but your's was extra nice looking.
Your heart must have been leaping out of your chest. What kinda debris was in the road?

Did you have a sway bar installed? The car handled well despite moving horizontally across the lanes. I'm just glad you're alive. That's some scary stuff!!!

And let us know what your insurance company says. Insurance agencies are scummy - I hope they don't say that you're at fault for this.
Were there any people in the stalled car when it got hit?

Yep nice bit of driving there and I'm glad your alright.

Now tell me, were you distracted by the news truck prior to almost hitting the stall? I can imagine a big blue news truck and camera crew set up at the side of the freeway would be distracting and could even create a dangerous situation...

there was no big blue news truck. just 2 small cars on the right shoulder with their hazards on. the camera guy was an independent news reporter.
