r.i.p my vic

ok so tuesday i was driving home from lunch on a back road doing about 35 mph around a turn and i hit a patch of ice. i then spun with my front end hitting a telephone pole which sent my spinning even more. then i went sideways into a tree (passengers side hitting the tree) and over some rocks. im lucky i didnt get seriously hurt. well i got the bill from the shop and it came out to 6800$ with 90+ hrs of labor. my dad is talking with the insurance guy today to see if they are going to total it or not, but they probably will. sorry no pics i was too pissed to take any. if my car is totaled what do you guys think i should get next with about an 8k budget? i was thinking a prelude or integra
