Default well threw a rod last night

yeah so this morning around 1am i was racing this busa off of 45 north and shifted into 5th and bam boom bammmm bammm(yeah exactly like that) and pulled over got a tow home and started tearing the motor apart around 2...we took our time cuz we were just being lazy and got the whole top end off by around 5 noticed my number 8 piston had hit the valves..finished taking the other side off and then "bam" im like wtf!! and yeah number 8 piston just totally fell down the block to the bottom...GAY but atleast i beat the busa the first couple of times!!...but yeah took off most of the accesories and the radiator and condensor and such and waiting to borrow a lift to take the motor out of the car...yeah and i have no job? so dunno how this is getting fixed yet but atleast the motor will be out!

That sucks and it was a free race, you beat him but he still drove home and still driving today. First get a job, then build a forged and freshened 357 cu.in. motor or stroke it like a man in prison.

Dam bro. How the hell are you going to get around? That gonna cost u at least 2k to fix, if you go the budget way. I mess up my car running a bike a while back, and let me tell you it was no fun towing my car home.

Damn, sorry to hear that bro. I blew a Head Gasket I think, well I hope anyways. It was still driveable though. I have 2 cars though, so I was good, and it blew 2 days before I left for IRAQ, so it is chillin in storage, and I will be back to fix and tweak it some more.
