I feel like a complete jackass bro! I was driving (racing) and me being the super driver that I am, I missed a gear, drove RPMs into outerspace. Drove easy..... then got on it, 3 gear about 7krpm, Done. Oh **** Oh **** Oh ****. I was not freaking out to bad because I figured the damage was done. CAlled steve to see if I could get a ride and called AAA.

Thats what happend eric. Streve came over tonight to take a look. I appreciate him doing that for me. He finds that number 3 plug is a little tough comming out. Yup. Nice and fucked! This is the first time anything like this has ever happened to me. I understand it was my fault. Now I just need to get my car back on the road. Steve is comming back over in the morning to help me get the head off. It's prob not that hard but I've never done it before and dont feel comfortable doing it myself. So I guess then we will see how fucked I am. Eric. buddy old pal. I might be asking for a favor soon. You think you would be down if you have the time? I would appreciate it. I'll buy you a few pitchers at bobkats.

And again, I feel like ****. Like a total peice of ****. Someone please tell me, "it's okay chris, this kind of thing could happen to anyone. (who drives like a dumbshit) your not a total dumbass loser."

I'm going to sleep.

Mis-shift? Could have bent valves, piston-valve contact. Cross your fingers:

**** happens bro. Don't sweat it.
