X2 I'd run away and never look back. Structural integrity would have to be maintained if you don't want to die if you are ever in a crash with it. Depending on the damage, the wheels might be straight but the whole car may not be square anymore. Not yo mention possible pinched brake/fuel lines and other unseen damage that can really add up.
