I broke it pretty good this time…so the Camaro should finally be running again shortly….
It happened this AM on the way to work.
I checked the oil last night and it was down almost a quart…I meant to add some, then got distracted.
This AM in a rush, I slammed the hood and headed in to work.
As I was coming out of Santiago Canyon by Irvine Lake, I was behind a modded Mitsu EVO…should have left it alone, but….when it opened to 2 lanes, he started accelerating up the hill to show off and filled my lungs with a puff from his black fuel rich exhaust….and never one to say no to a little contest….there I went after him….
As I was closing the gap, and about to move for my pass to show him what’s what…and while dreaming about filling his lungs with methanol fumes....….a very unpleasant noise came from the engine and it just shut off….
I coasted to a stop at the entrance to the Santiago Canyon Land Fill….how convenient….decisions, decisions…
Put it in park and tried the ignition several times….all I got was a loud clunk….motor is seized….
Added a new one to the “Do not do this in a Turbo Buick” list….Accelerating WOT up hill in a car with known oil system design issues that is a quart low….
Here it is posing for a pic at the land fill entrance while waiting for a tow truck to take it back home….
