Default Fooled By a Fake bolt!

There I was in the engine bay of my 98 ex sedan removing some stuff. Anyways I took up my 19mm socket and loaded it on to my 1/2 breaker bar and was ready to jack the **** out of this next bolt. So I latched it on and gave it a try.... But ah this one was extra tough, so I said "okay say hello to my little friend" and brought out my secret weapon, an 18" pole of stainless steel beauty, together with the breaker bar they became.... the buster bar! with an attack rating of +25. Not a single bolt has ever lived to tell about the buster bar many have tried, only to get snapped clean off! But not this bolt something about it in it's location hidden behind the engine on the right side of the motor mount, it was laughing inside after watching me try even with the upgraded bar I could not break it. This only made me mad see. So I took up yet another piece from my killer arsenal this one more sleek and more sturdy with a 10" longer length than the first but able to fit inside of it futher upgrading my weapon. It now had an attack rating of +50. This thing will break anything you throw at it, clean off! So I locked on and pulled taking it easy at first then gradually using more strength then finally..........SNAP! I thought to my self "nothing can stop me now." but as I looked closer the 1/2" connector on my staff was broken! It's socket hung from the bolt all by itself waiting for me to pick it up and examine it so I did and thats when I removed the 1/2" connector piece lodged within. There I was, faced with the problem of removing this bolt, but upon a closer look I saw what looked like a weld and then it hit me. "This thing is welded on, wtf!" Why is this non movable hunk of non moving, tool breaking, ****, shaped like a camofloged bolt? Does anyone know? Did the automobile gods do it so they could look down upon us and laugh at our foolishness?

That **** was way too long. Sounds to me like you're talking about the welded bolt on the engine mount, or was it next to it?

I still dont know why it's there but I assume it's to assist in moving the engine around to line up the mounts, correct? It's nice to know that I wasn't the only person to attempt to remove it.
