I tried about every adapter and strap imaginable to get it off. Only thing I wish I had was a 3/8 to 1/4 adapter so I could have tried my breaker bar on it. I tried that thing for a good 2 hours before I gave up. I did have a 30k and 45k mile maintenance done to it before I bought it a year ago so I hope they would have done the filter then. I'll check my dipstick when I get home but i'm confident that I didn't overfill it because the car was very level and sat for about 2 hours and my 9-quart container was overflowing when it was completely drained. My digital readout was always on full bars the last year I had it though.

Well, it better be. But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else? Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well. When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.
