Welp i just toasted my engine. How i dont yet know... what part i dont really know. All i know is that as i pulled into my appartment complex, and as i slowed around a corner seeing the fire department semi blocking the road. I then sligtly hit the gas seeing it was not blocked, and my engine died. Like it stalled... only its a automatic. So thinking it simply stalled like a auto will rarly do on a slight so, i attempted to restart it. It tried to turn over but failed. Tried again nothing. So i pop the hood and get out. I walk up front and get down under the car to see.... 2 large chunks of metal and a few smaller pieces mixed with slowly leaking oil.

Knowing some shit about cars i start looking for the source only to be confounded as to where its coming from. It fairly thin metal that i dont think would have come from the oil pan since its a slow leak. I dont know. Im fairly ticked off, just having toasted my engine with no clue whats wrong. More so that i only have about $1000 to my name so a replacment seems a ways off.

AHhh this fucking blows...
