Wow. Glad you're okay. I'm sure they're going to total your car, but maybe you can buy it back from the insurance co. for a token. Same thing happened to me about 20 years ago. Drunk ran a red and I T-boned her, completely demolished her car and I thought I killed her (didn't know she was drunk until I got the police report). Not her car and no insurance. They totaled my truck and paid me about $6k. I bought it back for 10% ($600), bought a new bumper, grill, front fender, hood, and did a rattle can paint job. About $800. Drove it another 3 years and got hit again. Insurance totaled it again, I got $3,500. This time they wanted 25% to buy it back so I said no.

So maybe you can buy it back for a couple of thousand, spend a couple more fixing it up, and keep driving. Good luck.
