Accord is nearing a couple milestones, though not without protest.

Its developed a small fuel leak just after the fuel filter out back. The fuel in the line after the filter to up front is dripping out at a really slow rate when the car is parked. Not a huge deal but shitty weather to be fixing it in my driveway.

Two other lines connected to the "two-way" valve have corroded to nothing, but no fuel leak from them.

I do believe this is the first time I've been happy about the car being carbureted when doing a repair. Working fuel pressure is only 3-4psi :)

I've already picked up a length of metal tube to replace the rotted bit with. Probably going to put off fixing it until the weekend unless I all of sudden get in the mood. Supposed to be above freezing all week which is good because I wont have to subject the RSX to much salt.

5/16" brake line cut, bent, and zip-tied to the original line :)

Move the hoses over, installed new clamps, and no more leaks, yay me!

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

She'll hate diesel passenger cars, all things Ford, and fiat currency.  They will masturbate to old interviews of Ayn Rand an youtube together.
