I dunno, I might have seen that exact thing done with a chain and a Grand Cherokee...

I wouldn't suggest trying it though. It's probably only $100-$200 to put the straight the right way.

my ex rear ended another car in my camaro and I didn't want to put it through insurance so I used a chain and a post on the front of my house.....put the car in reverse and pulled it too far so I had to gently bump it off the post again until it was just right LOL.

BTW - never buy a car from me
