Damn...

If it drives the same then fuck it.

Just keep on driving it.

Probably not, might want to check with a frame shop though, can never tell just by looking, but an alignment should shape you right up. You should probably take it easy on the streets...

Shit, my first 240 was missing more of the frame than that from rust alone. Not to mention asshole friends dropping it down on jackstands.

Can't be safe.

I do that, but I've got a pretty heavy duty set of snow tires (winterforce M+S). It's a ton of fun...

If it rides the same, then I'd just be inclined to say F it and drive on it.

For once, Jack's post in a tech thread is right on.

The important thing is that it's straight. Don't worry about that bitch of a tie piece, it doesn't do much anyway.

Oh, and don't crash your car into ditches anymore.

No, it just touches the bottom of ditches, that's way better than snow any day.
