Default Wrecked (Pics)

I was going 40mph and someone pulled out from a side street. Both airbags deployed. I ripped the whole front end off of his car. This car is very safe.... I got out feeling like I just woke up from a nap. I'll post more pictures as I get them. Insurance will most likely total the car, but I'm still waiting for confirmation.

I think it's rubber from the weatherstripping. I actually ended in a ditch. The box was teetering on 2 wheels and high centered on a small hill.
Thanks

Just got a prelim estimate from the adjuster. He's got $7900 worth figured on just surface damages. That does not consider undercarridge, suspension, or any other damages. I'll possibly know more tomorrow once they put it up on a lift and pull that front tire off. Good news is that if the repairs get up to $10,500, then they'll total it and give me $14,025 to put towards a new one. $14k, not bad for a 2 year old xB with 45k miles.

UPDATE!!
So the insurance guy called today and said they are going to TOTAL it. Awesome! He said the key factor is that they could sell it to a salvage yard for nearly $10k. From the insurance company's side, selling it for $10k and paying me the difference is much better than paying out $8k or whatever it was going to cost to repair it. I'm stoked. We had wanted to sell for $14,500 asking price or $13k minimum, so this will work out great.
Praise the Lord.
Next step is to hook up with the body shop and get all the aftermarket stuff out. I hate to uninstall all that stuff, but it'll be great to put it back into our new car.

Also, I wanted to say how great it has been for the community to show such genuine concern for us through this wreck.

Merry Christmas
