I just installed the valve cover two days ago and it already looks filthy. Damn the huge opening on top of my hood 
Oh yea .. I have a question. How do I go about shaving off the lettering? Just use sandpaper or should I dremmel it off? No idea how to go about doing that..

found a small piece of metal in my left rear tire on the tread part not the grooves, but dont know what to do about it yet,
the tire is holding pressure at the moment so i dont know if its just a good fit or if the metal doesnt go all the way through, but if i pull out the metal and leak air, then i have to put on the spare to take it to sears since its half hour away.
or i could drive to sears pull the piece and of metal and if it leaks than I'm already there otherwise its a waste of a trip...

I have had punctures that held pressure. I just go to a shop and ask them to pull the screw/nail/shrapnel/whatever out and plug it. I've seen the tire depressurize following removal. $15 and 10 minutes later I'm on my way.
. I'm here all week 
lol

Slacker insurance still hasn't got their adjuster here to assess damages, but at least they called me today.
I'm going to have enough downtime as is for repairs and ordered parts, I don't need them wasting extra days for nothing. Grr.
