i dont have the money to have it towed, kinda need the car for work tomorrow morning... any idea what it can be? how much would a new engine cost me?
that said, sorry about your car. sarcasm aside, none of us like to see another owner in your shoes. and...wow, you posted in introductions on 12/10, so your car is barely 3 days old (to you)? BUMMER.

yeah.... i know.... 
It was dumb on my part, ive been driving stick for a while now its not that, i was just never used to such a high powered vehicle and got a little over excited, when i shouldve gotten use to the car a little more before i tried anything, o well though you learn from your mistakes. Im having it checked out tomorrow to see if its just the valves. Im not driving it or trying to start it by the way. Would you guys recommend getting some aftermarket valves and maybe shaving the head a little while its out?

I think the inflation on cost is probably due to a fear mongering fee.

Labor costs vary widely from location to location, but no matter what, a complete engine will always cost more than just a cylinder head (assuming that both are in comparable condition), by a substantial amount.
Was your comment an attempt to help the poor buy out with his car, or were you just trying to say something imflamatory?
