wheel pointing in wrong direction
as i said in my last post (the one about not overheating anymore) my car got quite a bit banged up, besides the dent and missing paint along the whole drivers side and a broken reflector and tail light the only other thing that i can tell is wrong with it by looking at it, checked under car and under hood ect., besides bent rims, is that my passanger side wheel is pointed strait in my driveway and my drivers side is pointed to the left. whats wrong with it?
oh yeah another problem that i found... my left side really hurts...

Power steering? Sounds like the rack could be screwed up.

I'd say bent/twisted A arm, bent tie rod, and/or ruined ball joints inner and outer. I didn't read your other post, nor am I going to. Don't drive the car. If not for a litigious reason, then merely financial: Your tires will wear out very, very quickly. That 20 mi. you drove easily wroded 5-10k miles from it's life. That's bad.
If you don't know what you are doing, even if you think you do (I'm not hucking stones here, I'm just sayin") you run a serious risk of damage to property (yours/thiers), limb (anyone's), or life (prolly not yours, but someone's, and that too, is bad). Roger, I like the duct tape sig the best so far.
