#26705, "My NOT-SO-happy 4th of July....."




          

On my 45-minute drive home at about midnight I was run off the road by a huge jacked-up truck. I ended up in a ditch and luckily a group of about 10 guys stopped and helped me lift/push my car back onto the road. I noticed my front was damaged but it was f'ed up already. Well, about 2 minutes later my oil light came on and I pulled over just in time to hear my engine lock up......

...well... while I was popping the hood a cop pulls over next to me and asks if I've been drink (I hadn't been drinking for hours)... long story short, I refused the test and went to jail.

When I went to check out my car today, I looked underneith and my oilpan is completely bust and there are metal shavings in oil from the dipstick. I can't get my car until Monday to check out the internals but I'm wondering what you guys think. It'd be nice if I could replace the shortblock and rebuild, but I don't know if the head would be fucked up too or not. Whatcha think?


on a side note, the cop thought I was dealing Xanax because I didn't have a label on my prescription bottle and I had $400 cash on me which he also took, so I guess my attorney gets to ass-rape me again *sigh*

What a shitty 4th of July... I hope you guys can cheer me up.
