Wow Ben... I guess we're kind of alike! I love flooring my 300D up a hill and watching traffic dissapear behind me. I'm not sure if I'm leaving them behind distance-wise or maybe I can't see them because of that lovely diesel smoke. Either way, it's a great feeling... LOVE the sound of the 5 cylinder engine! Anyway, after some hard driving there is some blowby. Pretty normal I've been told.
