The thing right now is, I think Im super sensative to the car.  Because Im feeling every little bump, every little lurch, every little hickup.  I cant tell what is normal and what isnt.  I cant totaly tell if the car has been fixed totaly yet or not.  I do need a new valve cover gasket.  Pulling the plug wire today didnt yield the pool of oil I was expecting.  So my thought that the oil was fouling the plug still causing the miss isnt happening.  This is now a mystry.  Is it really missing, or is it just normal.  3rd and 4th gear heavy load full throttle, I cant feel anything abnormal.  I would think a miss would really show up in that situation.  Only time I really feel anything is light accleration or steady state cruising.  So is that just normal stuff, bumps in the road, or a real miss.  I am going to do some highway driving here in a day or two and see how crusing on the interstate.  Trying to figure out if my butt is just super sensative, or Im just a tard…thats something hard.

I have to get this fully sorted out in 2 weeks.  Cause on the 7th or before I plan on going to Atlanta.  So I need to make sure everything is good.  If not, Ill be renting a car going one way in it each day and just rely on my friends when Im there to haul me around, which should work.  I just dont want to do that, and dont want to have an unreliable car.  So thinking I may have to cruise out somewhere to a friends place one way or the other on the interstate this week to test the car out.  meh…ok back to doing nothing
