the Oil Pan Incenident
Well over the weekend of 4/27/2009, My wife found out just how low to the ground here car really is.
Notice the oil trail from the point of the rock.
She did say it needed an oil change! Only $250 to replace pan, sealer, oil & filter. She drove it home with NO OIL left in the pan, she stopped at here brothers house and left a big puddle of oil and she did even notice it. there was no oil trail out of his driveway to our house, which lucky for us is only about a block.
More photos below.

Quite an expensive oil change, but guess in comparison to a new engine, your getting off cheap.

You need to put in the Bob Seger toon in the CD player when she drives it next time "Like a Rock" as a reminder.
As for crank damage it often takes more than you thing. I have seen many a engine run with out oil and live a long life.
