EDIT: Go to bottom of thread for new material.
So, some people with a serious tobacco, lighter, and nuts addiction hijacked my car for about a week. I'm trying to recover what there is of my car.
They ruined my steering column to an extent. http://youtu.be/TasbM4SPxh0?t=9m21s Look at 9:21, and see the rectangular steel object in the background that is aimed towards the steering wheel? Yeah, well, imagine that they hit that shit with a sledgehammer such that it's seriously offset. Not only that, but so are my blinkers and wiper controls. (Offset, weird and uncomfortable angles now) Great. That's fixable, maybe. I'm going to try hitting it with a hammer in the opposite direction and see if that solves it. There is no other solution, so it seems.
On top of that loveliness, I have this HORRIBLE SMELL OF SMOKE IN MY CAR AND I WANT TO MURDER. Suggestions? Should I just rip all the carpet out (top and bottom), remove all the seats (back and front), and just have one 5 point harness bucket seat for me? I'm not sure if that will solve the smoke problem either.
They also ripped out the radio (Worthless radio, IMHO) and ruined my entire climate control getup. Destroyed all the plastic and destroyed the radio mounting metal. So, that's going to set me $100 back on ebay. http://************/m7eakt6, it's a tiny url
I've also removed my ignition lock cylinder from my ignition module (Whatever you call it, honestly) and am going to order a new one off of RockAuto. That's also about $80-$90 after shippin'.
