oy! i crashed

Oh man this sucks I crashed again in the same exact way I did six months ago! I was riding along, and I rode over this big branch, and I looked down to make sure my tire was alright, and bam! I hit a parked car. Well not exactly the same, last time i looked down because my chain came undone. Fortunately, I'm OK, and I think the bike is pretty much alright...the wheel hit the car and that's about it.

BUT there is a bit of damage to the bike obviously, and I'm gonna take it in this weekend to have it fixed up (I'm still under free protection at the lbs i bought it at. Sooooo...given my situation what damage should I be looking for?

I know the wheels will need to be trued, and the front brakes is a bit messed up (its all sqeaky now, maybe I can use this as an opportuinty to get some 105 brakes, as opposed to the cheap cannondales that came stock). Also, the little plastic plate on the shifter/brake that says shimano broke off, and the computer is scratched, which i can't do anything about, but oh well. What else should I look for????

Thanks so much, sam.
