Need suggestions fast!

Well last night, I got into a little fender bender that deployed my air bags..

Attachment 194067

And now I'm not sure what I should do with the car. It's my second accident with the car. I'm a Marine stationed in CLNC, going on Deployment in less than 3 weeks. Should I call my insurance to report it and try to get the car fixed and salvage it and continue all the work I was going to do on the car with my deployment money? Or should I part it out and get a new car (well not new, but a new used car)? I need an answer fast so I know what I'm gonna do before I deploy so I can tell whoever I put in charge of all my assets what's going down.

it looks like its creased by the corner of the rear glass. was there any suspension damage? that looks like it would be totaled

I took a hit, drivers side, in almost the same spot. No air bag deployment. It was fixed by insurance. I don't think you will have frame damage. That was several years ago and my car was much newer.

what year is your car? mileage?

That car is done.

It's an 04 with 108k mileage on the original renesis. But yeah after the accident it looked like the suspension was destroyed due to the wheel being flush with the wheel well, which it was never like that before.
