Well, my *** got LUCKY... The rock nailed the oil pan then bounced back and nailed the tranny cross-member, bending it up pretty good but missing the tranny completely. Otherwise... man... that would be a bit more expensive... lol The guy also said that I should probably have an exhaust shop bend one of the pipes back down, as the rock hit it and pushed it up into the floorpan, but I want to look at it first, as that is probably something I can do on my own.
As for insurance... I just got off the phone with my company (USAA) and after getting all the details and whatnot, they deemed it a "not at fault" collision. They are going to cover everything, sans my $500 deductible, obviously. Total cost, at my cost, for the repairs including labor is $924, so I guess that is not too bad. Oh well... only going to pay $500 for it, so no worries! Now all I can do is wait. Oh yeah... they are going to save the oil pan so I can snap some pics of it for all you curious folks...lol
Glad you got it turned off. I hit a HUGE turtle on the way to Midland in my SS coming from College Station. I couldn't see it due to traffic and the last thought in my mind was "maybe i can split it" (knowing i had no time to swerve). Well i was wrong and turtle went everywhere. Luckily for me (not so lucky for the turtle), the turtle was softer than a rock and didn't damage anything besides a slight bend in my exhaust. Good luck getting the car fixed and keep us posted.

Damn that sucks man!
Wierd though I just had to replace my oil pan because of a huge hole in it. Problem was it was because of....the jack..... Lets just say jacking up the front of the car with jack from K Member = bad things happen when letting car down and wheel on jack breaks off and the car keeps coming down and whole car slid forward and jack dug into ground so it put a nasty hole in the pan when the k member slide right off the jack
But believe it or not it was really simple to replace the pan so it wasn't too bad. Of course I did just happen to have a spare LS1 and pan in the garage.
