 Re: dead cylinder...
i had my wife drive it from texas to georgia one weekend.... i had zero problems with the car before i left... i was in school and i wasn't allowed to have my phone on me... when i got out of class for the day, i checked my messages and it progressed like this:
"when i turn it off to get gas, it doesn't want to start for a while"... "i checked the oil and it was low so i put in more".... "it started getting hot so i stopped and put more water in it".... "your car started smoking, but it went away"... "your car started shaking... i tried to make it to the next exit.... but i pulled off to the side of the road and it died on its own"... "there's oil spraying from where your turbo goes into the exhaust"...
by the time i got all these, it was too late.... she will never be allowed to drive it ever again.... -_-
