Stupid. Awesome that they posted what happened, but just turn it over to your insurance company, along with all of the receipts for what was in the car. They should cover all of it. You tell them who did it and who is actually liable, and they will go after them for the $$. This is what you pay your insurance company for, and this is what that shop pays its insurance for. Sure they initially came back and said they'd just pay off the loan, but when you spell out with receipts the true value of what was damaged, they will pay for all of it, whether its your insurance company or theirs.

PS--this would never happen with a DSM or an evo. I have not problem letting other people drive my car, because its solid and safe! Vette = RWD, I'm sure they lost control, weren't wearing their seatbelts (not headmarks on windshield), and could not recover because they were flailing around like little dolls instead of driving the car. JUST ANOTHER REASON TO WEAR YOUR SEATBELT!!!
