While driving home my 2010 camaro 2ss M6 the other night i hit a fence and colvert went airborn and landed in a pasture at about 65mph head on. It ripped off the front and rear bumper bent the rail going across the front of the sub frame and cracked it, all lights busted scratches down both sides with one mirror gone dent in roof and scratches also a busted windshield. Two rims are bent for sure and all 4 scratched to the metal. They are the 21in factory upgrades also with pirelli tires. The suspension has to be shot pulling it home i had the wheel turned almost all the way upside down to keep it straight and it wouldnt turn left almost at all. The clutch is shot was scratching along with service stablitrak, tracition control light on. My radiator is pushed in also. Im just wanting educated guess as if it is going to be totaled the appraiser hasnt came out yet either, this is my baby just wanted to get some insight on yall's thoughts.

Driving lessons would be my first bit of advice. That being said i'm not saying this accident was your fault coulda swerved to miss an animal or a fence jumper. It's definately totaled if your a V6 and i'd imagine they'll total it out even in your SS the damage and labor hous will be more then half what the car is worth.

Just judging from your description and your term of "possible totaled", I think you may be in denial.

Lol well the city is getting into it cuz the road was a dead end that came to a T there was no warning signs no stop sign or even a poll no arrow signs so we will see I am in a little bit of denial but I hate that if they can fix it the diminished value is going to kill me when I trade it in, I'm planning on going to a duramax if it is totaled.

If there is any frame damage it will more than likely be totaled.
Sorry for your loss. :(

Also just found out power steering is leaking and tranny fluid from somewhere, also there is a hole in the radiator and tranny cooler possibly ac condensor too. Who knows where all this will go, im just nervous to find out.
