Your transmission is preventing it from starting.

Didn't you say you were having transmission problems even before your brother messed it up?

I agree with the transmission, did you try starting it in neutral (i know its an auto),

or if the lights stay off for a little bit after you crank it and it "clicks" it could be a loose battery wire.

TODAYS PROGRESS:

Well i had no sawzal to cut off my muffler. Hahaha. So i used a hack saw, and damn did i feel like a F**KING cave man. ahahha. But yeah after like 30 mins it came off. and i had to kick it alot and my friend sawed for a few minutes.

And many people stared at us. and it was akward. haha. and im like ITS OKAY! I GOT A FART CANNON WANNA SEE? ahahah. but yeah tommorow im going to get the extension for my pipe, so i can have the exhaust not be halfway under the car. hahaha.

And ill post pics once its done.

And probably the progress as well... Gonna try to get my mom to do a payment plan with me to buy me my starter.
