Serious bummer dude, but good to see that you're ok. As indicated above, view this as a learning experience.

As for the car, that's some serious damage, but that's a good thing in this case. The car exerted energy away from the driver (you) at its own expense. I used to work for a body shop, and I can tell you that the car is almost certainly totaled. The roof is one thing, but the quarter panel is what will do it. It's all one piece from front to back, and I believe that its seam welded to the chassis. Replacing that panel alone will be cost prohibitive when it comes to repair it. Then again, that's a pretty much new car with minimal depreciation, so there may be hope for you yet...
