The car is still in my possession, so I feel I have zero leverage in all this and refusing to sign anything just hurts me if they drag on the evaluation process while I drive around a busted car risking a ticket. (already got pulled over with a verbal warning).
By signing it, they say I'll be able to obtain a courtesy car while they decide if my car is totalled.... But when it actually comes to the point that it's deemed totalled. I foresee that I'd need to forfeit the courtesy car immediately, my car is now icbc's; however it's sitting on my property waiting for icbc to tow it away whenever they thinks it's convenient. Essentially I'm storing their car for free for who knows how long.

You are right, the moment they deem it a total loss and you have signed it over, they will terminate your courtesy car. I would hold on to the forms and not sign until you've exhausted their patience.
What did the cop say about the car? I've seen cars driving around without headlights. But if your airbags blew I wouldn't drive it anyways.
