It's gonna take forever to repair this car just waiting on parts, and that's if your body shop is super gung ho about it. Honestly I'd pray for a total on this thing or you'll be driving a rental car for about 6 months lol
I'm gonna be honest, when I was 19 I totaled a basically brand new Civic Si with like 9000 miles on it. Injured my knee since it was a 4 car pileup where my car got smashed up by the full size pickup behind me but I'm still thankful I didn't die (even though now over a decade later my knee still hurts like a mofo half the time). Either way, I think one of the better decisions I made after that was to really boring out my driving. So I bought a Camry (lol) and had one more accident that I probably could have prevented (skidded out in a freak april snowfall but it's something better driving could have avoided) but after that I got the hang of genuinely being a defensive driver so except for pretty unavoidable rear endings (where I'm stuck in traffic and can't move out of the way...unfortunately this has happened 3 times since-friggin' retarded NY drivers). It takes time to control your stupider urges and the insurance rates pretty much reflect that. So what I'm saying is that if the insurance company lets you total it you should consider something else other than an FR-S. I didn't trust myself to be able to handle that temptation to not drive like an idiot again and kill myself the 2nd time and to be honest I can't see anybody driving an FR-S in a boring manner and being OK with that so it's gonna make you want to hoon it so bad if you get another one. Might wanna consider just buying something else then saving up and waiting until your insurance rates stop being so rapey to get another sports car.
