Default Great...

yesterday, my mom said she was on the highway and heard something with my car, she said it sounded like metal dropping onto the road. we have been smelling exhaust fumes lately but i figured it was from when i washed my bay, maybe the water hit my header and it was to hot and it cracked or something, but now its like my car diddnt want to start this morning, it kept bogging out and i had to keep my foot on the gas to get it started, now after its warmed up its fine but i noticed at the redlight when i went to accelerate, it like sputtered and then it went... what could be causeing this

well, if ur head is warped, (and ive seen ur yrbook pics so i know it is lol) u may have to get it resurfaced and that isnt too much either. u need to check it with a straight edge when u pull it off. might as well get it done. makes MAD horsepower cuz it raises ur compression...lol
