Should I limp my car to a shop in this condition?

I was replacing the curved lower front control arms on my 96 talon NT because the ball joints were bad.
Unfortunately I broke one of the bolts on each side holding the things to the car. I believe they are 12x1.5 bolts and I've been trying everything to get them out. Nothing is working, the car is on jackstands, and I really need it back on the road. The outer bolt is broken on each side, leaving one bolt to hold it up.

Should I put it back together and drive it like this to a shop to get it fixed? or will I damage something?
I can't really afford to have it towed, and I've been trying to get people over here to help me but its not happening.
thanks
 
Yeah, not worth the risk. Think the damage it could cause if that let go going down the street and could cause an accident. Call a buddy to give you ride until its fixed.
