Both times I have had something go wrong in my engine, it was while I was just cruising to work. Never had anything go wrong while at the track or beating the hell out of it.

Sucks about the failure, but time for an upgrade. I spun a bearing 2 months ago. My new Texas Speed forged 347 will be here today!

That's exactly what I was doing! Driving to work and was just right down the street when I felt the car shake. I was jammin to the radio and looked down at the RPM's and watched it fall to 0 as rolled into the parking lot.
