Sold... sucks that it was your fault but they are giving you a decent check for the value of your car. YOu could easily buy another for that (here in NJ/MA, not sure what they go for in CA), and I think thats what it comes down to.

Wait they said the total damage cost <6000 and totalled it, but then offered u 8500 for the car? Doesnt that go against the definition of totalling a vehicle?

When they total a car are you allowed to keep it? No sense in letting the engine/tranny/everything else on that car go to waste...

Id try to keep it and make some additional money off it since it doesnt look all that bad... I personally wouldnt mind driving a car that had its airbags deployed, but I dont know if that is not legal.
