Wrecked My 986

Two weeks ago I wrapped my '99 Boxster around a tree. Actually took out two trees before being stopped by one I just couldn't get through. The cops kept looking at me and looking at the car and saying, "I can't believe you walked away from this". Literally only a scratch on my head and a sore shoulder.

I was going round a curve, coming back from lunch, it was wet and leafy. I have driven this road hundreds of times. It is not a bad spot. In any case, I thought I should take it easy. I was not going too fast it just started to slide as I came out of the turn. Slid side ways up on the curb, took out two trees and came to rest on the third.

The insurance company is giving me more than I paid for the car ($16k v. $13K). Trying to decide what to do. It may turn into granite counter tops and refaced kitchen cabinets or another car. I am thinking of another boxster (99 or 2000), an older 911, a 968 or a BMW M Roadster. Any thoughts?
