With the exception of a little wind chill, bet it still runs fine.
Call Top Gear UK.
They can use on the next "How to kill a Toyota" segment.

Update.
For all those who thought it would run and drive, you were right. The battery was drained from a short some where, so I pulled the battery charged it up. Put the battery back in and she fired right up. I drove it in the back alley behind the house and everything works except the power door locks(probably the short that drained the battery). Even the dome light at the back still works, haha!
As far as insurance goes, I got nothing. I had switched the insurance to my new 4Runner and so the old one is a total loss. The engine was knocking so I already was going to take a loss but not this bad. Thankfully I am meeting with a fellow forum member tomorrow so hopefully I can give him a sweet deal and I can recoup some of my loss.
Lesson, keep comprehensive insurance on any vehicle if you park it under a large tree. If it had hit my new runner it would have been a loss as well. I'm getting comprehensive on my new one, lesson learned.
