Ladies and gentlemen, I am a madman.

I tried for an hour unsuccessfully to remove the top bolt of the breather box. I accidentally overtightened it going the wrong way. RIGHTY TIGHTY LEFTY LOOSEY! Oh the pain and anguish. I gave up. Oh well. Man I tried everything. Hopefully I'll come up with something or find some perfect tool.

So I just replaced the PCV valve which was caked up, the oxygen sensor, and the fuel filter. I drove the car hard for ten miles or so, came home, and checked the tail-pipe. The tail-pipe since I got it, has just been spewing smog. I mean talk about being a gross polluter. After those replacements and the run, it was smog-free out of the tail-pipe.

I was exuberant. But I'm not going to get my hopes up, just to fail the smog again. I am completely ready to handle another smog fail, and it will only motivate me more. Never knew trying to pass smog could be so fun and exciting and suspenseful. I like a challenge.
