It actually has at least 90k miles. Also last September when I started my car for the first time in 9 months it blew out black smoke for 3-4 minutes and ran rough. I dunno why it was fine until last Friday. I did smell gas a few times yesterday and today until it was replaced. Also like the last one in the oem header were both stuck pretty good.

Even for 90K it looks more sooty that I would like to see. That is probably from that black smoke episode. It may just be that the gas got pretty skunky sitting for that long (although Crashy is still running on the gas that has been in her since I picked her up in 09).
