Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I crashed my 02 oz rally my airbags did deploy.
Weird thing about it, my car starts with no check
engine light on at all... but she won't move.
Everything under the hood just got pushed back
(tuff cookie lol) I got hit head on in front, and my
wheels won't turn could it be fixed?

The steering wheel turns, it's like the frame is blocking the wheels from moving the steering wheel all the way

You can spend a LOT of money trying to straighten a unibody or unibody-to-subframe out. In fact you could probably find a rolling chassis cheaper (same make/model minus the engine). If the damage was confined to just the subframe the cost to swap that out isn't too great, but you have no guarantee that the damage doesn't extend to the unibody. You have to be objective in your case, as you might just be throwing money away on this old warrior.
A 2002? It's totaled. Just the air bag deployment probably totaled it.
