Carbon Frame Vs. Car - Is it still safe to ride?

Hey Everyone. I recently got hit by a car on my bike while biking in Oakland. I hit his car at about 25 mph after he pulled in front of me without signaling.

I love this bike, it's a 2005 Giant TCR Advanced T-Mobile Team edition. The brake levers got a little bashed and it bent the handlebars. The fork looks unscathed and the wheels are true. What I am worried about is that there is a small dime sized dent on my top top where my bars rotated during the crash smacking the top tube. Since the frame is carbon, is it unsafe to keep riding on the frame?

What you do think?
