I'm so so so so so so sooo excited to have a legal running car that I haven't stripped down yet, please come and hang out with me and admire it!!!!!

Fixed

Okay I need my ignition cylinder out ASAP. I'm leaving for college soon (20th) and I wanna drive my car, and I need to get a license plate ticket signed off before then. If anyone can do it, money, beer, pizza, parts...whatever you want.

ANYONE please tell me what it would take for you to remove my ignition tumbler. I just cannot get the fucker out and I honestly have no time to mess with it. If not for the ticket, moreso because I just wanna drive my car before I leave until Thanksgiving.

I will pay anyone whatever they'd like (within reason) to remove it.

try a paperclip in the hole?
you know you can start the car without that right?
but im guessing your wheel is locked

Been trying for hours
you know you can start the car without that right?
No I'm very interested in knowing how though
but im guessing your wheel is locked
No I can turn the key to position 1 and unlock the wheel. But I also can't get the wheel hub off for some damn reason. I removed the 22mm nut and although I haven't had it off in years I don't believe there's anything else holding it on. The fucker just won't slide off.

Edit unless you meant I can start the car without the ignition cylinder, which is the reason I'm trying to remove it

Anyone got suggestions on how to remove seized rotors?

Have two struts off the car completely disassembled except for the rotors; they're seized to the hubs. Soaked in WD40 and PB Blaster and gently hammered on with no luck; gonna try vinegar and a rubber mallet next.

hit that shit with a sledge hammer, they always come off then

take the under cover of your steering column off. on the left side you will see the ignition switch with all the wires, its clipped on. pull it off and stick a screw driver in there to turn it and start your car

What should I say to the cop?

just tell him the truth. Just say your car isn't running right now and you need to take car of this no front plate ticket before the due date passes. It shouldn't be that big of deal.
