[V8] Looks like this car will likely be parted.

That would be great if that's all it is. I can probably replace the valve
cover gaskets in a few days. I just don't want to go through the trouble
though until I also figure out why it's smoking the way it is. If the motor
has something significantly wrong with it I don't want to waste the time
with valve cover gaskets. If it's just running rich though I might be back
in business soon.

I realized yesterday that I actually bought this car in '09. So I've owned
it for over 3 years and have only driven it twice: once to get it home, and
once to find out that the brake was dragging.
