****Is my car totaled?...DirtyTwo got smashed :(
Well, parked in a residential neighborhood and some dude smashed into the back of it while it was parked on the curb 
just checked KBB and its at $8,545.00 in excellent condition for private party (stock obviously).
I take it in tomorrow to get it torn down to check out the total damage......
What do you guys think? Will they total it?
Sadly, I am thinking they will
Damage to the rear bumper, trunk, both quarter panels are dented, tail lights smashed, spare tire hub smashed, rear bumper cross member looks to be bent pretty badly, and rear wheel curbed pretty badly ....
I am thinking best case scenenario...its time for a C55 rear end
fingers crossed.

That really sucks.. Especially since you took such good care of it. If they total it make sure you ll get the most out of it. Just like people opening their doors in your car, but this is a little more extreme?

well just dropped it off at the body shop, their initial estimate is about 7500, giving it about a >85% at a total loss 
And thats before they've even torn anything off

I am so depressed to see this has happened to you and that beautiful C32 of yours. I, for one, am rooting for a re-birth of your car.
Please keep us posted.

fingers crossed.I've never commented on your C32, but I've seen your pictures, and you've done a fantastic job with it. Very heartbreaking to see this happen. From my experiences, I'd say the insurance company will likely total it. Do you know what insurance company you are dealing with?
I've owned 2 C32's, and BOTH of them were taken away due to rear-end accidents. The first one was hit while stopped and damage looked like this:
Insurance totaled it
The second C32 I was able to have for a few years, but I got SLAMMED in it on a highway on ramp, guy behind me wasn't paying attention

Jeez those pics make me cringe! I had some lady do the same thing to my lifted Tacoma 2 years ago. Parked right in front of my house, I couldn't believe it. Man I loved that truck...
Hope all works out brother!!!

Sorry about the car, I would have to say it would depend on your insurance company and their estimations of the true "value" of your car. My mom's CLK was in an incident a year and a half ago where a student driver in a prius got confused and gunned it going around a corner and plowed into the front of the benz. In all, the front/driver side body work and front driver side suspension and wheel had to be replaced with an 8-9k repair bill, and the insurance went ahead with the repairs, as their estimates valued the car higher than the strict kbb valuation. Hopefully your situation resolves well.

Thanks for the compliments, its hard to see her in such a terrible state! I hope my luck doesnt pan out as yours has. That second wreck looks pretty bad man, I hope you didnt get hurt.
I'm gonna try my best, but we'll have to wait and see! I am still baffled at the fact of someone hitting a parked car, but I guess $h** happens.Sorry about the car, I would have to say it would depend on your insurance company and their estimations of the true "value" of your car.

Sorry to hear about your accident man. sucks putting so much time, money, sweat blood and sinto a car and to have it all taken away by some jackass who cant keep his eyes on the road.
I feel you on the Sonata... some guy ran into my brand new STi 3 months after I bought it and I got stuck with a ****ty *** chevy HHR for 2 months. They really should do something to try and match the car you crashed with a rental car that close to it.
