Thats why I never let anyone drive my car. Depending on how it hit, one spot to definitely check is the fenders to see if the fender tabs got bent. If they did they can be fixed but its kind of a pain.

I bet one or both rear axles are bent... just have someone drive behind the car and look at it going down the road. if the wheel looks like its wobbling its got a bent axle.

doh.. yeah that would work better just have someone in the car to be safe. would not want the car to come off the stands and go though the house or anything.

I would smack your buddy across the back of the head first.
I agree with everyones Ideas/statements.

Sorry...I like the jackstand idea just a little more then the other option
