I noticed for the first time last night that I had a slight trickle from my water pump. My harmonic balancer is in two pieces. My knock sensor has cracks all over its underside. My wire for the heat sensor on the lower passenger side of the block is broken. All of my exhaust bolts are VERY loose. My IAC valve doesn't work. The little hose from the intake to the flame trap is pinching closed with vacuum applied. The hose to the brake booster has a small hole where it rubs the intake manifold. And the filter sock in the tank had a big slit down the middle of it. Ive driven this car for 3000 miles this way. It rides smooth and has decent power.

Im thinking of naming it Sherman, as in --, but that may be ill received here in Atlanta. I would have buried a piece of detroit iron by now (hope my Road Runner isn't listening). Add one more diehard BRICK man to the list.
