Growler

Hello there. Have had my '91 for around 3 - 4 years now, my first car and even after two accidents has been doing well until lately. I think I'll have to say good bye to ol' Growler soon. She's a tough old bird of a car.
First accident was the first winter I had her, hit black ice jumped the curb and snapped her front end. Didn't notice anything was busted until the next morning when I was backing out of the drive and noticed she wasn't responding to the steer wheel. Next and hopefully last accident happened back a couple years ago, ended up in a multi-car collision where I rear ended an SUV on the highway. Hood was bent, busted 3 out of 4 lights, whole front end shifted.
She's been fine (with the exception of needing her exhaust system replaced) until we found out her power steering is just about completely rotted which I won't be replacing, just drive her until she's done.
