Well the car has been sitting since I wrecked it. Today was a beautiful day and i'm not busy either. So I decided to work on her a bit. I finally got around to changing out the bent track bar (Pics below). But I also found another bar that is bent, but not as bad as the track bar. I don't know the name of it though. It runs pretty close to being parallel with the track bar. I know it's not the trailing arm or the sway bar. If someone a has diagram of the rear end assembly that'd be awesome.

Once I got it all put back together I took her for a spin, yes it is actually somewhat driveable. Here is my analysis of the drive. Engine and transmission seem fine, no overheating of any kind. Obviously the alignment is still off, but not as bad as when I tried driving it after the wreck. I know there is something really wrong in the front end though. If I just take off slowly there is like a rubbing noise in the front. This also happens when going WOT, kinda scary cause it feels like something wants to maybe break lose. There was no sense of actual vibrations, just a loud rubbing (not clicking) noise when accelerating and turning. I feels kinda safe driving at 60-65MPH but i'd be scared to go any faster than that.

But it was good to get back in, see what else is wrong, crank up the Bose and jam out for a little bit. If anyone knows what any of those issues might be, just post up... I understand it could be many different things, I haven't got it to repair shop yet either. As it looks right now I will repair her to minimal cost to have as a backup ride or I will more and likely try to sell it all together since it's drivable to transport.
