Totaled or Repair?

This is my first car. Got her last November with just 19k miles on her. She's sitting at 28k now. Thursday Morning, I was driving to work and a tree limb suddenly snapped over the parkway. It fell on top of my car as I was driving. My dad was worried about the roof and door. No air bangs were deployed. Start and drive completely fine. The passenger door opens and locks okay as well. The front of the car is almost completely fine and there are few dents in the front cover. No lights were busted either.

It's at the inspection place now but we're not going to hear back until Monday. I'm sick to my stomach with worry. It took me years to get a good deposit on my dream car. I'm glad to be able to walk away. The tints saved my life. So, total or repair?

Her name is Moon Drop. A part of the moon fell and made her. She's 2022. Literally came upon her in a mostly empty lot at the dealership at night. The streetlight was shining directly on her. It was like faith. It felt like Sam and Bumblebee from Transformers. I was gonna get her washed and buy decorations for her today too. I'm hoping she goes for repairs. I've grown extremely attached.

Traditional roll-up crank window people can relate. Chevy Spark delivered

I miss the old fashioned roll-up window. Some days that was the only exercise we got

Not complaining. Just curious. It fits my Owala perfectly.

Update-
Thank you everyone!

What’s up with Chevy Spark batteries?

I drive a 2020. The battery has gone dead twice since I’ve had it. The first time was in late August of 2025, and the second time was two days ago, October 2026. I took it to AutoZone and they ran a test and said my battery was fine, but the starter was going bad. I took it to a mechanic, and they said it’s the battery going dead. They also said “something” is draining the battery while my car is turned off. I have my phone plugged in while I’m driving, but I unplug my phone (and charge) when the car is off.

Is the radio using power while the car is turned off? I can’t think of anything else that would be. I never turn the overhead light on…

Hi, I'm a senior in high school looking to buy my first car, and I was wondering if this would be a good deal?

My 2019 Spark 1LT

I love this little thing. The photo is from the winter but regardless this is an amazing little car. It doesn't have the stupidly big screens and safety features like lane assist but it still connects my phone and has a backup camera, it's like a perfect happy medium.

15 inch screen vs. 338k nightlight 🖥️🎄

The Spark dashboard lights up like a Christmas tree, but she's still outlasting everyone's expectations.

Celebrating 5 minutes of no engine light.

The 5 minute break was nice. 338k miles and a dashboard Christmas tree is officially back in business 🎄😊

Photo was taken by my partner from the passenger seat.

Belt squealing upon cold start

I bought baby car brand new in 2019. I have kept on maintenance and had to have the typical wear and tear things either fixed or replaced. I have had someone look at it and said my belt and everything looks good. As far as I've known my car has always done this upon cold start. Goes for a little bit then goes away. I do live on a dirt road and notice it at times when its been wet and rainy. Anyone else experiencing this? She's got a little over 72,000 miles.

The engine light is finally off. A miracle!

338,000 miles and the dashboard is officially dark 💀 Swapped the oxygen sensor and she cured herself. Lap 14 around the Earth is starting with zero warning lights 🌎🏁
