Beating Honda at their own game

So yeah, I took my lil problem to Honda last night to see if they will replace it under warranty. They called me this morning and said that they wouldnt since I was in an accident and it was caused by that. What pisses me off is that the other service manager who checked it out said that it would be covered. So basically, I was told that it would be $192 for them to even check the car out. I said in a manner of words "How bout you go fjck off and I go and pick up my car?" So I picked up my car, and went to work on it.

This is what I had to deal with:


After hours of work:



And the total cleanup:


Oh yeah, and I fixed the problem with the help of my good ol' pops and my Uncle. Mad props to both of them. The best part, is that my uncle came up with a great saying for my car, "You think you japanese guys are hardcore? I got the bamboo shoots in the engine bay! Beat that!"

Yeah, heater core leaking all of the coolant into the passanger floorboard thus leaving no coolant for the engine, and creating Lake Delta (Coolant brand I had to buy at the liquor store yesterday when nearly overheated) in the interior.
