Default milkshake in my engine....
a couple days ago my buddy from the army and I were trying to fix some fuses under my hood in my 2001 civic. My mate slipped up and dumped his milkshake down into the engine, battery, and fuses. I cleaned up the mess as best i could but headlights now don't work and my car won't start.

what should i do now?

i'd check the fuses and make sure there isnt milkshake down in the terminals that could be preventing a good connection.

oh and dont let your buddy near your car when he has food
