Dang dude, that was nasty. Glad you made it out of that without any major damage to yourself.
I'm a a local to Utah & saw you post in a thread in which a guy is looking for interior stuff & well I could use a couple odd little shifter related parts for my swap. If there is a way I can snag those at any point from your poor car, lmk. If not, no biggy.
Do you think a salvage yard will snag it, or is going straight to the recycler? I assume it depends on if the engine is salvageable or not.

Wow! That's incredible. Glad you got away from that.
From what I can tell, the front windshield and driver's side window are still intact! That's some pretty strong glass...

That is totally fixable! Don't believe people when they say it won't drive the same ever again! 
Really though, I'm sorry for you loss. Hopefully you can get an 08.

Had you been exiting at a more sane speed for an exit (e.g. 45mph) you would have been able to recover from hitting the gravel. Taking an exit at that speed was not good judgment, gravel or not.
