Angry RIP my G35 :/

Hey guys, so heres what happened to my poor baby. I loved this car so much it was honestly a great joy in my life, we shared many experiences had a few ups and downs but overall a great vehicle that made me smile every time i hit the throttle or walked away looking at her.

A couple days ago at around 7 AM I was heading towards school and was driving on the highway in a traffic jam. I was in the far right lane and in front of me was a truck, to my left was an arrogant driver that I should of yielded for but i was cocky and made a horrible decision. I had indicated to turn left for several seconds and with limited space tried squeezing in to merge into the middle lane, the left side of my car had gone through but I ended up hitting the rear metal rail bar on the trailer truck ahead of me at around 15-20 KMH..now my car is pretty badly damaged and was wondering on your guys' opinions and thoughts on what I should do.

Work I know needs to be done:
New front suspenion, front bumper, front grill, passenger side headlight, passenger side front fender, passenger door.

Any ideas on what I should do, sell for parts or try repairing it? And if i should repair it any estimates on the cost? Is it even worth it? I know the prices you guys give may not be relative to mine because i live at a different area but any contribution helps.

Thanks for your time fellow G's

Pix would be helpful for us to assess the damage.

Hitting a trailer is no joke, people crash into those all the time and die. Glad you were okay.

I'm going to guess it is too expensive to repair based on what you said, but to each his own .

I would search the Internet for parts and prices. If it can be fixed (and it sounds like it can), I would see how much of it I could fix myself and go from there.

Insurance will almost definitely total it based on the damage that you said. It's your choice whether you decide to buy it out and repair it and assume the inherent risks associated with doing so.
