HAHA! I am defintely not keeping it that way. Its already off and being fixed tonight and tomorrow.

I had to get home today from class, I was 60 miles away from home and I walked into alberstons and they had this stuff. It was made to hose fixes on heaters, power steering etc...that picture was after the drive home. $2 fix vs a $200 tow...

^^^ Seriously! Did it help you go faster?

HE he ehh. Thats not as bad as the time I had to un-hook my air intake and drive home. It was in the wheel well with out the wheel cover and got caked in snow. It wasn't my maxima thankfully. I take much better care of it!

Nope the filter was so wet and caked in ice and snow the car couldn't get any oxygen. I had to unhook the intake up top and drive home about 15 miles. It was in an old Honda Accord I didn't care too much for. After that incident I went to the junk yard and got new wheel wells to fix the problem.

Actually I could say it helped me go faster, as before I had a fluctuating idle and high idle, and for most of the way home, I didnt. So a small vacuum leak could cause a loss in performance? Anyhow, all fixed now.
