Lol. It could have sucked a lot more. Now it's just a lot of oil to clean up!

And yep, ya gotta learn sometime haha.

Actually the worst part is that it was a brand new fuel line I had just put on. I don't think I tightened it down enough because it was such a bitch to get at.

I'm thankful to God that we were all ok!

Car is running awesome! Shifter rebuild kit and new front badge will be here Tuesday! Let's hope I'll be able to take it for a cruise Tuesday night after work! Buffer wheel and polish will be coming on the first for sure, gotta pay off the new 32" HD Flatty!
