I hydro planed my car and it crashed into a curb on an interstate entrance and tour up my rim and the bumper And the grill the finder as a few screeches and the other fender has a crash and a dent from a previous crash and after the crash with the tire the car will not drive without shaking really bad do you think they will total the car

A 599 GTO Ferrari, probably not. A 1980 Ford Pinto, probably.
A general rule of thumb is that an insurance company will consider a vehicle a total loss when the cost to repair is 80% of it's value.

One of the finer examples of a run-on sentence posted recently.
tcope has extracted the essence of the question and answered appropriately.

Even if the car seems drivable right now, you'd need to get ti checked for internal damages that may have been caused and yet not visible from outside. tcope is right as far the criteria is set to get a car totaled. Go through your policy and check if anything is mentioned in this regard.

That's what happened with me. When I wrecked my Jeep, the outside damage didn't look that bad. However....'internally'...I had bent/broke brackets, bent the frame, etc. Someone had rear-ended me. My vehicle WAS drivable, however......it was 'totalled'. Sometimes you just don't know, until you get your vehicle inspected.
