Thanks for the all well wishes guys - I truly appreciate it. The G is in the bodyshop pending the estimate from the insurance adjuster. My buddy's shop will take care of it so I'm not worry. Just thinking of black powdercoating the wheels to keep it simple, adding the chargespeed kit and maybe painting the top black (?)
Well, I'm surprised myself for not being mad or upset at all right afterward - I was wanted to resolve the immediate problem - AAA, insurance, CHP.....and was extremely grateful to fellow G forum members who were present to help.
First thought was I'm OK and then a quick visual check! I though the people driving by was more concern about me so I just gave them a thumb up and smiled to let them know I was good2go - I actually felt silly. Only the airbag on the front passenger side door deployed.
That night, I was more concern about my Husky that was still inside the house and I had to come home to clean up and move the next morning. I had to come home and clean up my place that night. I was busy moving to a new place all weekend in addition to finalizing the contract to get my old place leased. Timing is everything!
At least everything is done now and taken care of!
For now, I'm lowriding in a 2door Chevy Monte Carlo rental - the ride is actually comfortable and performed better that I've expected but it's no G by far!
The rear passenger side wheels had broken off (back to the future mod!) caused the G to drag the wheel on the side and bumber on the ground. When it was pulled onto the flatbed, the super slammed bumber cracked at the mounting points and broke off, which had to be removed.
Yeah, I just had the Stillen SC Stage 4 installed about 1 month ago. I was on my way to LACR to test out the 1/4 mile time for the first time ever - didn't make it there!
I've updated with some more (towing) pics on top. Hopefully will post my RE-NEW ride soon. Thanks again for all your kind words and understanding.

glad to hear your OK. the same thing happened to me a year ago. I spun out and broke both axles on the passenger side. Wheel hit the fender and put a small dent in the rear quarter panel. There was about 8k in damages and the rear suspension crossmember was also damaged. The worst part was my aftermarket wheels were damaged and I had teh hardest time trying to get a full set. I ended up selling them for like $300 and got another set of Volks. Hope everything works out for you!!
