Then I get it towed to the shop, we spend a few hours cleaning the oil off the engine, then put a new plug and oil in. It seeminly starts fine and I drive it on mary way around 10:30pm. I get past the 1st toll on 408 and it throws the rod...aparently it takes about 10 miles for the rod to throw after u run it without oil or something. So I have to wait another hour or 2 for the same tow truck guy to come pick me up and take me back to the shop. So 180 dollars in towing fees and 7 hours of my day, after I had already worked 10 and i have a car with a blown engine. It really sucked. My only saving grace was that the amazing Lilly was downtown at chillers, which is near my car shop, and was able to come rescue me so I had a way home. What a day...</p> oh and to top it off that day was terrible, I was on my way home from work when the drain plug blew off, I had to pull off on I-4 and wait 2 hours for a tow truck to come.

It's been in the shop since the 3rd week in january getting my single turbo kit installed. Finally they finish, I have the car for less than 24 hours and the damn engine blew. I am not having the best luck lately.</p> Yeah, it’s been quite hard times with my car as of late. It’s been in the shop since the 3rd week in january getting my single turbo kit installed.
