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.... -_-
