I guess that is up to your insurance adjuster?!

What is the value of the car before the accident versus the cost to repair... my guess is it will be repaired if the frame isn't bent.

Are you female by chance?

Looks like it can be repaired unless the fame is bent, which I doubt.

Looks like you've destroyed $2,000 in body part (front and rear bumper), it's hard to tell what else is broken/bent from the impact. If you go find diagrams of your front and rear suspension linkage I'm sure you can pick out pretty quickly which components are likely bent. Clearly the components that hold your right rear wheel in-line are screwed, the axle/joints should be okay though since they're designed to travel with the wheel.

Crappy luck.

Late night pic, shakey hands, thinking that those pics were clear...

OP,
Call your insurance co. It's probably not totaled.

Thanks guys for your response. Sorry for the bad pics. its all I got at the moment. Anyways. The car spun out and usually I can control it but this time it was different. No other cars hit. Nobody injured. Thankful for that. And no DWI either. Do you guys think it will drive the same after repairs?

Rear wheel passenger side is a little bent up. You might need a new wheel.

Can't be too critical, because I've been there and done that. Still, I kept my car off the curbs lol.
