I wholeheartedly agree with this. Despite a little pessimism Saturday evening after I got home and realized I'd have to walk if I wanted dinner, I still feel optimistic about the motor in general and the replacement in particular. I didn't post that pic to scare anybody into thinking our cars are all going to grenade. I just figured we share this kind of thing, and other owners might want to know it happened.

It's actually a little more interesting if I'm the only one who ever sees this. Who would really care about another blown engine post if 50% of them were doing it?
