Unhappy Update: The tC is totaled..parting out

On my way to work tonight, deer ran out in front of me, hit ice, hit guardrail and the rest you can see. I'm fine but the car is hurting right now.

Ouch. Looks like the rail was a little tall. The bumper reinforcement doesn't even look that bent which is probably a good thing.

yeah it will be totalled for sure. 102k miles on it the car isnt worth prob more then 10kish private party and even though ill prob get flamed there can always be body damage as a deer is a hard object and replacing all the quarter panels and stuff can get very expensive very quick.
i know just to get the rear quarter replaced on my tC was over 4k

It was about 3K to get the driver's rear quarter fixed on mine, this was almost 2 years into having my 07 Spec with about 14,000 miles.

^^ Obviously it would help to inspect the damage and/or the extent there of to determine if it's totaled or not.
IMHO I can't really tell if that's the case. However, from what I can see in the pics I am surprised that the airbags didn't deploy. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I thought the SRS sensors were set to trigger at or around 20-30 pounds of force and above. Sucks about the car but glad you're okay

The system is weird, ive seen cars flip over and roll a bunch of times and they never deploy.
