You could try to mess with the adjustments to get it a little closer before you drove it. I would if it were me, since it's easy enough and you were already in there in the first place. The front camber and caster are set by moving the control arm in and out at the front and rear mounts, which is why they (and subsequently the toe, which is what you're seeing) are now off. Just mess with the one side until both tires look sort of straight, then drive to the alignment shop. The last time I had my car towed the moron truck driver damaged both tailpipes and tore off the left lower fender mount by putting the chains in the wrong place.
