i was gonna part out just about everything i could, hood, headlights, front springs, engine, tranny, ect, and sell them all for a lil extra cash for my next car. But since i didnt have the title i technically didnt own the car (the bank did) and now the insurance has it so i cant do anything about it.
edit: I have the stock springs if anyone wants them. they have about 3500 miles on them. I also have the TRD short throw shifter, that i MIGHT be selling, I only had it installed for about 2 weeks, all depends on if i get another box, dont get me wrong, i loved the thing, but i want something a lil peppier and i cant sit comfotably in the tc.

Jesus, Mary, Joseph!!!
I am glad you are OK my brother.
Please got to the doctor NOW and get checked just to be safe.
A lot of the injuries won't show up till years later, unless you treat them now.
Gott' damn' SUV (stupid user vehicle) drivers!!!

It's good that you are ok. I say you should sue him to get what you are due. Otherwise the insurance or he will just pay off the loan on the car and you are stuck having to buy a new one from scratch. Fair is fair, you should be back in the same situation or better as before the accident.

Very nice.
About a month ago, I saw a Corvette C5 after it had hit a wall doing a pretty good speed, ~40-50mph. Way back when, you would expect to have your engine on your lap, but this thing also really absorbed the impact really well too. The dash and interior looked untouched (besides the blownout glass). You could clearly see how the front fenders bent, along with other items, to absorb the impact. The guy also walked away from that crash too.

Anyways back O/T, glad your ok. Hope that sob gets screwed over and you get a shiny new car (or check
)
