Default update on my wrecked crx...

i post on alot of honda sites, and i dont think i have started a thread on this site so here is an update...
i wrecked my crx 2 days ago, and i have to go home in a few days so im trying to get it driveable.... tomorrow my rad comes in and in a few days headlights and i should be good to go
and so here it is, im almost done adjusting stuff, then ill put **** back on and see how it drives
because i broke all of the plastic that would have protected my radiator, i decided to use a trick for a grill insert i learned about 5 years ago....precut insert for just 2$

i was just a bit more then irritated that i get the wrecked car and STILL got the 125$ ticket...and got a little cocky, called the cop a douche bag or something along those lines, anyway there was another police officer there, i work in the police dept with him, and he pulled me away from the cop with the tazer...fun day
