I have to tell everyone about the worst 48 hours of my life. Yesterday as I was leaving the doctors office I go out and start my DD. It revs up very high and then starts knocking. There is a dealership a block away (my father in law works there) to have the noise investigated. My worst fears were confirmed. I had spun a rod bearing. I limp the car home and park it so I can figure out what to do with it. In the meantime I know I have to get the camaro going. I still had to put the steering shaft on and put the new throttle cable in. I got up this morning and got a ride from my brother to get the cable from the stealership. We get home and get it all put back together. Cool. I needed to drive up to the next town to go to the hardware store for a few odds and ends. On the way ther the car flings the belt off. It made a noise so I stopped to investigate. (which is when I found the belt missing) Call my wife to come play search and rescue and she finds the belt like 2 miles back on the road. I get the belt back on and go to start it up and I am greeted with a bang. I jack the car up to check the starter and the plunger is stuck inside the fly wheel. I pull the inspection cover and the starter and I am greeted with 2 handfulls of material from my clutch disc. Fuck! Now I am out both of my cars. I talked with my father and he is going to help with a motor for my DD, but I'm SOL on the camaro. God this sucks. I know this is a novel, but I can't help but think EPIC FAIL.
