I F'ed my car up

[SDSilver01]

OK, don't remember if I posted about my earlier maintenance woes but I spent almost $4K doing maintenance, etc on my car a couple weeks ago. Today, I hit a bump going too fast and must have punctured my oil pan because there's a fatty trail going through my garage and all my engine's oil in a pool underneath my car. Yah, life is sweet.

ouch =\ Yeah oil pan isn't so bad, oil isn't so bad, hoping the engine wasn't run dry too long, and labor will hurt. =\

[SDSilver01]

Yah, engine only ran for a few minutes (started acting weird and oil light came on) but don't think any major engine damage was done. I'm getting it towed into Mirimar tomorrow morning. I should get my own personal loaner the freaking business I give them.

[SDSilver01]

Thanks Carl and others. I already had my car in the shop. They needed to replace teh oil pan and pump because it was running noisy. They didn't think I jacked the engine but thought I might have gotten metal into the oil pump. $1200 fix

[SDSilver01]

Well, everything's getting fixed but in just this month I've spent 5G's on my car and it doesn't go any faster :(
