Went out for dinner and a drive this evening with Laurie. On the way home and sitting at a stop light when all of a sudden the car starts making this insanely loud banging sound. Sounded like a midget under the hood with a really big hammer swinging away. I was so shocked that I kind of froze for a moment. The the car just stopped running after about 8 to 10 bangs. I looked in the rear view mirror and couldn't see the car behind me due to all the smoke and for a moment thought we might be on fire. Thank goodness that wasn't the case and a stranger appeared to help me push the car out of the intersection. Laurie called into the police department and we had an officer in no time to make sure no one hit us on the side of the road. I noticed the car is covered in oil which I'm sure isn't a good sign. So the Bucket sits out front of the house under her cover. Maybe tomorrow I can get a few strong guys to help me push it up the driveway and into the garage. Good thing I was planning on switching over to an LS2 or 7 or I'd be really pissed!
