front shock question

now this may be dumb, but I am new to saabs. my front shock nut (just got car) at top is not tight but stripped, cant tighten or loosen, and thumps on bumps. so much of shaft showing, about 1.5" I think easiest way since it wont tighten is to cut shaft and just replace shock. my question is, can the car be driven without the shock, bouncing aside.just until i get it home to install after friend cuts shock out. or does that keep the car from going too high and unseating the spring? makes me wonder who the dumbass mechanic was that did this. btw, yes the bushings are there as well as the washers.
ps. thanks for all the great info ppl post. between that and my bentley book its a life saver
