Default BLEW my motor!

Well hey guys, after a couple runs last night, i was running this 240 turboed (not sure what he had) thinking his car was the ****. So i pulled up next to him and we went at it, i was pulling away pretty easy too. Well, next thing you know. KA BOOM! You guys know that line going down the block (an oil line) that runs straight down the block by the oil filter. Well that line/ tube is held on by 2 bolts to the block and it ripped off with a piece/ chunk of the block attached to the line. OIL EVERYWHERE. So yeah, a chunk of the block is gone. I'll take pics tomorrow. So there goes my car! I really have no idea what i am gonna do now. I might leave the "dsm world," i might not. i just need a car to get around and RELIABLE. I heard Engineer was selling a block though? LOL!

From when i talked to him yesterday it sounds like he is going to drop a junk motor in, sell it, buy a GSX, and build it up. Or just buy an already built GSX.
