Default Had quite the scare today...

So it had rained and the roads were all wet. Me being the irresponsible person I am just had to spin the tires and scoot the *** end out a bit. So after I spin them i'm driving up the road and suddenly there's a new ticking noise coming from the engine that varies with speed... So i'm thinking i've spun a bearing and had to think about it all day at work. On my way home I notice there's no loss of power and oil pressure is fine. I finally get home and jack the car up and look around. There was a fitting that was on one of the primary's from the headers previous owner that I just epoxy'd shut. All that happened was it blew my epoxy out and gave me a exhaust leak. Talk about relief, I getto fixed it again and was on my way. I just about **** a brick though wondering how I was going to pay for this.

Anyway, the moral of story is don't jump to conclusions to quickly.

That's why I have a jump to conclusions mat.

I know that exact feeling though, and it sucks
