Default Houston, we have a problem

Houston, we have a problem.

Driving to work today, and the car starts to tick. So instead of getting on the highway, I take a side street and start going back home. It starts getting louder. Oh ****, I think to myself. Trying to keep the RPM's as low as possible, I drive as grandma-ish as possible. 3 blocks later, BOOM.

Here is the aftermath.





Um, cracked block, anyone???

Gee.. Good thing you pulled over and turned the car off before you exploded the engine..

That sucks dude. Any idea what the problem is/was?

Thought I could make it home. Oh well, live and learn.

No idea, I know the motor had a oil burning problem, but I checked it everytime I gassed up. The level was fine on Thursday.

That's not cracked. That's called "thrown rod"

The only things I asked was not to blow up my engine too.
