2000 Boxster S: crashed

After 26 years of driving, finally got into my first wreck where I was driving. A pickup truck pulls out directly in front of me. I had about half a second to react but not enough space to maneuver. Boxster's front left, driver's door and probably major suspension damage when I got thrown off the truck and car jumped an 8" curb then car ended up on a hillside. Most likely a total loss. It's a shame too, the car ran perfectly (no oil drips and kept up on all maintenance), interior near perfect, just bought a hardtop last month, new tires and I just bought a full tank of gas 2 miles before. Engine was still running after the crash.

I'll post pics after my insurance settlement goes through. Now, what to get next? Another Boxster, 911 (pre-996), 928, 944, or just a beater for now? Will probably have some parts to sell if I don't get another Boxster.
