Some kid broke my windshield with a rock and i claimed my insurance company. The car is now "totaled". WHAT THE F*** and the insurance company only giving me 100 bucks back.

should i pocket the 100 bucks and buy a new car
or
Should i repiar the windshield costing me extra 100-150 bucks
Im preety sure that it still have around 10000 miles left
 
It was totaled because the repairs were at least 70% of the "fair market value" of the car. If they are giving your car back to you AND giving you $100.00, I would use that $100. to put in a new windshield ($150.-250.) on my own and keep driving it. You could also consider buying a used windshield from a junkyard and having a handy person install it for you. Installing it is not rocket science. I would also drop all coverages except liability and perhaps med payments (PIP) because your car has no "market value"
