Default Strut mount

Strut mount plate is severely rusted and actually broken. Can I drive like this til I can get it fixed

Completely broken all around it. Can I drive like this until I can afford to fix it next week? Like meaning I won’t die due to some crazy scenario where my wheel flies off and suspension falls apart

Hate to be that guy, but you need a good beater car to run around in (think old Camry,corrolla,or Honda) so when your firebird is down your not backing your self in a corner as far as reliable normal car duties goes. And yes I'd get that problem squared away before driving further. Not only for your safety but also for the other people on the road as well. Just my .02¢ worth.
