Re: z600 1/4 mile blast

If you'd seen the origins of this car you wouldn't be bothered by its stunning good looks. I believe the body is pretty far gone and it was also a free car.

Re: shocked

If they constantly fog up and there is a film on the window and a sweet smell you could have a leak in your heater core. Also a healthy AC system will defrost much, much faster than a car without AC.

Remove it and make sure its clean and un-clogged. I believe its just a one way valve, so you should be able to blow through it one way but not the other.
