Sorry your 993 had to find that rare tiny patch of California black ice and then decided to mingle with a tree.... BUT the main thing, as many have already said, is that you are ok.....

I know how fast it can spin - did that years ago into a tree - fantastic that you are not hurt and the safety systems worked!!
Now get your moola out and go shopping.....

JoAnne: I think the most important takeaway of all this is that there is one less 993 in the world for you to own -- sorry! 
Harry: thanks. When I get to that point, you're on.

Awww Dave,
Its great that you can keep your sense of humor with your entertaining while sad post. Are you sure its a total loss? A front clip, bumper, hood, and a few odds and ends, and you may be ok. I hope this works out in a positive way for you. And if I can add one, single word of advice it would be "TURBO". Just sayin'.

Dave,
Happy to see you came thru uninjured. It is just a car *cough*. Crash-Survivability is the #2 reason I own a 993, and your experience confirms the wisdom of that choice.
Best of luck with the insurance settlement.
