Default safe to drive??

well... i have a spun bearing, REALLY BAD oil leak, my throttle body is thrashed (when in neutral, idle jumps between 1100 and 500), car overheats AND when i cut it off after driving it sounds like something is boiling inside my engine and it last for about a minute.. SO i was wanting to know if i should stop driving it until i get a new motor or should i take the risk of driving it??

lol ... o **** ... just the sound of it would not make me want to drive it ... if you have another car dive it ... leave your honda alone and wait till you get a new engine ...

just park it and do a swap. In the mean time go to a dealer and get a key cut from the vin of the car with no key and drive it.

thats my same advise. i think you can get d series engine pretty cheap and its a full swap as well. i forgot what site it was where they were around 400-600 i think.
