Wrecked!
Well last night I did the unthinkable... I put my Vette into a curb to avoid a dog that was literally 3 feet infront of me after coming around a corner, plus it was wet out. Its at the repair shop now but will not be looked at until Monday morning. 
It looks like there is possible frame damage as well as a hole puched into the radiator. It was a very high curb that left my car teetering. Had to be winched off. Luckily I have full coverage and they will pay but if its totaled I dont know whether to get another Vette or not. Im thinking of an 06 M3 BMW or a Z06.. Which should I get?

Sorry to hear about what happened.
I trust you were not injured.

Get another Corvette.
Best of luck in what ever you decide to do.

Sorry to hear about the car! I sure hope you came out OK!
If the car is totaled and I get a vote on what it's replaced with then I vote Z06.

It sucks being in a wreck especiallly when your car sustains damage but it's alway's a positive anytime you can walk away from an auto accident.
As much as we all appreciate our cars it's just that, a car.
Good luck with the repairs or maybe it's time for another. Right now it's a buyers market and great deals are to be had all over.

First a guy who would key a car because it parked next to him in a f**king parking lot and now someone who's gonna beat a dog cause its on the side of a road. 
OP, Sorry to hear about the car man.
