Well I installed a catch can. Here's what my intake manifold looked like. My car was reading knock and was pulling anywhere from 1-6 degrees of timing because of it burning oil from the intake

Yeah I plan to put a catch can on mine before too long. I think GM recommends that around every 90k - 100k miles pulling the intake to clean it and the valves. Not sure on the v8 but the v6 being direct port injection is horribly for keeping the intake and valves clean so the catch can is almost a requirement.

Big wedding for me. And I choose the honeymoon. I have so many nice clothes in my closet, but I can't ever wear them and it saddens me. If I could dress up every day, I would.

Pick a day to dress fancy. Some friends of mine used to do Tie Day Friday's in college. Though I wouldn't do it because I'm way too attached to my jeans and sweats...

Looks fairly clean in there! Was there any oil residue?

A girl that loves to dress nice, hmmmm, just looks more sexy. <-- period.

You don't need to find a reason to dress up, just do it and go with it.

I wiped it out about 500 miles ago. Had some residue on the towel I pushed into there before the catch can install. All that shine is from oil. I thought it was dirty

well, don't have to wear it to school. But if you are going out on Sat afternoon, shopping, or meeting your girlfriends for lunch... dress to impress. Set an example... tell your girlfriends to dress up too. I know all you ladies have some very nice outfits, wear them. Turn some heads.
