WRECK MY DB8 Need some advice?

Man, got in a wreck today, I need some advice, its a 96 integra gsr. I haven't heard from my insurance company if it's going to be totalled or not, what do you think? I have a feeling it is, talked to the body shop and they said frames bent and abs sensor or pump (I forgot what he said) is f*cked.

If it gets totalled you guys think I should buy it back?

Ouch! Looks like you found the rear end of an 18 wheeler trailer.

I think it could be fixible if you didn't tweak the frame.

Sorry to hear about the wreck. Hopefully you didnt sustain any injuries.

P.S. Let us know if you do end up buying the car back to part it out.

I was changing lanes and as soon as I looked at my blind spot, I guess the guy suddenly stopped and my front end went under his rear bumper.

Here's what his car looked like, the body shop guy told me it's totalled.

damn man that sucks.... so it was like a domino effect?? that accord hit another car in front of it right?

And about ur car.... if you have ltos of parts on it, just buy it back and then part it out cuz you can make some extra money off of it. But if u dont have much, just total it n get somethin else.
