It does drive straight. I drove it for 15 minutes home. It does not pull at all. I kept an eye on the temperature and it never got into the red. Is that bent up structure a critical part of the unibody?I would HIGHLY recommend finding a good frame man to make sure it's pulled straight.
The core support can be cut out of a donor in the boneyard and welded back in.
Past that - Ouch! Hopefully nobody got hurt in that!

That sounds very comforting. I really hope you are right.Just pull the radiator and condeser out and stand on it. It'll straighten right out most likely. Its very thin metal. Good luck.
That metal is bent. But it is not a sway bar like I first though thankfully. It's just a bar and it did its job protecting the engine. The thing still drives straighter than my 2001 Camry I am using as a back up.That front anti-sway bar is bent! You'll need to replace it, check the suspension and reset the alignment.
What did you hit or run over?
Hey that's no big deal as was said. That front bar holds the frame ends aligned, it is probably okay too.Here is the a view from the bottom of the radiator looking up.

Here is how much it shifted down below. I really love this car. I am really sad this happened to it. View attachment 40256 View attachment 40257
