Thanks for the kind comments guys.
The engine bay is totaled for sure, nothing is left in there. It was hot enough to completely melt the front strut bar (aluminum) and the engine is for sure severely damaged by the heat. The only things I MIGHT be able to recover are the rear suspension bits, like the swaybar/endlinks/control links/strut bar/etc., but I talked to the towing yard and they have to get authorization by AAA to let me remove anything that is bolted to the car. The wheels were included in the value of the car, so they will probably have to stay. I dont know if I want to try and recover those rear suspension parts, if anyone does have any ideas of what that takes or wants to help let me know...
I guess right now ill start looking for a new car, so keep an eye out. Something $6000 or under. I got the quote back from insurance, and thats about how much ill have to work with... Preferably something less expensive so I have something left for maintenance.
This would be a good example of that:

Something like this other car is neat too:

But I worry about all those crazy mods...
If anyone sees anything let me know.
