I gottasay i love my job. It took a while to get used to though. I used to drive truck and operate heavy machinery. I was used to working outside and staying busy. I had an accident in 2000, no brakes and coming up to a very busy four way. Instead of crushing probably several people i drove the truck off the road and jumped out before before the truck dropped down about ten feet into a ravine full of pine tree's. Busted my leg up pretty good and thought it might be time for a career change so i went back to school got my piece of paper for electronics technician and got a job on the air force base.

It was pretty bad at the time. I weigh 250. The truck was going about 44 when i jumped. I seriously thought i would just jump and roll. I missed the door handle the first time and kinda panicked trying to get out of the truck. When i did jump i landed flat footed and just fell down. I had a pain in my ankle and thought i must have sprained it. I had never broken or sprained anything so i did not know what it felt like. I stood up and looked down at my foot. It was turned completely over to the side, i was standing on the bottom of my leg. I said to myself " self this is no sprain". I layed back down holding my leg up. My foot was just flopping and then i saw the bones sticking out. I broke my fibulia,tibia and all the muscle's,tendons and nerves. The only thing holding my foot to my leg was my achille's. But after several rod's, pins, plates and screw's it's good as new. Modern medicane FTW!

wow i had thought i was getting a lot of replies for help with my car but guess this is a social thread

Sorry about that gtcoupe. We got a little off topic. Did you check your pcv valve like stated earlier. I have carb as you can see. I used to have a problem with blowby with the dipstick coming out. I was running two breathers like everyone say's to do. They say either run breathers or pcv but do not mix the two. I have one pcv and one breather and it took care of my problem. Check your pcv and see if that helps.
