Cracked Sub-Frame

I guess i was kind asking for it being so low, but my friend who happens to be a respected mechanic told me this when he was doing my oil change. I asked him what that could mean as far as drivability. He said it doesnt mean much but to keep an eye on it.

Now im asking my fellow acuraziners (this word should be in the dictionary). What do you guys think?

Get it professionally welded or JB Weld it yourself, once you start a crack it'll continue, and if you like up north, it could rust and on and on and on.

I wouldn't let that sit for too long. With the everyday stresses of driving, that crack will only get worse from here on out.
