That sucks bro, Lake Elsinore hasn't changed in the 10 yrs since I left. That looks like the rodeo grounds water tower in the background? Glad you got it back, hope the damage isn't too extensive.

If the ignition switch is not broken, it can reinstall into the ignition lock. There are 2 screws hold the switch and I would look to see if they are on the floor. On the upside, you got your car back with very minimal lost.

So did they steal the bumper or did they rip it off joyriding? It sounds more like the typical Elsinore tweeker's than it does somebody who knows about honda's. Glad you got it back in mostly one piece brother. That's just another reason why I had to get out of Elsinore.

It got messed up in the crash, and its funny they left all there tools and there keys in my car. I just need to get a new ignition lock, and now I'm looking for a short hub for my car so I can put my Quick release on it.

If I was back in CA I'd give you the spare steering column I've got in storage. Stupid tweekers, I had the same problem when I lived on the north side, up behind Terra Cotta JR high. At least you got it back and can go from there.

No the crash was not bad at all and I'm very happy that it hit bushes and not the wall on the other side of the bushes.

They still have that pick a part up by the I-15/60 interchange? Well if you haven't found one by April, let me know, I am coming down for the Long Beach Grand Prix and can bring it down for you.

look at the bright side, they didn't even cause that much damage. it could have been much, much worse. you can put it back together and it should be as good as new. how does the motor sound?
