Default body repair and school project, help!!

Hi, I own a 1999 Accord Sedan LX and its got major damages . It was hand-down from sister and she didn't bother to fix it. I am located in Southern CA, Orange County, 714 area. Can anyone suggest reliable and cheap body shops, or places that sell stock parts for Honda Vehicles. My passenger right door is screwed, back bumper, trunk, and the right-side brake lights won't fit in its slot because the body is pushed inward (T_T). Please pity a guy who loves car that has to drive a beat-up ride!!!

I also have a school project, and I decided to pick the topic "Street Racing" to make the project fun (senior year sux *** ). I'm suppose to go out and interview real people but I'm a typical lazy ***. I have to turn in at least 20 note cards on this topic to get credit (O.O)!!! If you can please answer the following questions altogether with like 2-4 sentences and I'll exaggerate it onto the cards:

1. What do you think and know about Street Racing?
2. Would you promote or demote it?
3. Do you think Street Racing is harmful to the sales of automotive products since their presence attract police discrimination on the vehicle and its driver?
4. Do you personally street race? If so, describe the benefits you see in street racing.

Much Thanks!!

heres some answers:
1. i think street racing is not the best thing because it is not safe entirely, but it provides the kids/people with an alternative to going to the track, training, and costs.

2.I would promote it

3. i think it is harmful to automotive products that are through dealers, but reflects great sales in the aftermarket automotive products.

4.i do street race. occasionally, it allows for saving money and time that i dont have to go to and race at a track.

1. Street racing is a crime, no way around it. It is dangerous and reckless and leads to countless deaths each year (find some stats). Furthermore it leads to people being lazy asses...

2. I think there is an appropriate time and place for street racing. For example, some police departments (my home one for example) sponsor a race day where kids can come out and run as many times as they like for a minimal fee. You can even race a police cruiser.

The responsible way to race is to find an old abandoned road (preferable at the top of a hill) where you have a straight unobstructed view. Night is best because you can see headlights and know for sure if someone is there. Give yourself at least a mile of breathing room, also make sure there are no turn offs. Four lanes is also prefered.

3. Street racing if anything promotes vehicle sales. Young people in particular are attracted to sporty vehicles that look good and can be easily upgraded with aftermarket parts.

4. I really don't race people. Sure if I'm at a light against a Bustang or something I'll gun it, but I don't go around being a jackass or flashing my headlights. For one its not worth the risk of traffic fines or wrecking my car.

The benefits I see is that its good clean and free fun. If you're responsible about it and don't put the general public at risk there's no harm in it.

There, you owe me ya lazy ***. **** man you ever heard of ProQuest, you don't even have to go to the library?

1. Street Racing isn't very safe because there are those kids who drive like ******** and put other people's lives in danger, but it does provide an opportunity to race whenever, and almost where ever you want to.

2. I would promote it.

3. Street Racing promotes the sales of aftermarker products, and the sales of the cars majorly. Cars coming out now are easier to upgrade and with a huge aftermarket for a lot of cars definetely promotes street racing.

4. I do not street race. As schmitey said if im at a light an some *** is revving his engine ill give him a run for his money, but other than that nah.

hope this helps
