Epic Whoops thread.

A customer of my boss had this towed in, it's a 78-79 Camaro, but this is the whoops part. The guy's son says it has a oil leak and won't start...... So I put it on the hoist and find this......

I put a socket and ratchet on the crank and the engine won't roll, pulled the drain plug and coolant came out first. I am guessing a broken piston or rod and it broke through a cylinder wall. WHOOPS.
That's not a whoops, that's just a typical day in the life of a Chevy.
 
I-90, mile marker 80 (east of Rapid City) today.
We saw several trailers and semis in the center divider.
Too fast, too slick, too windy.

Sights like these are getting to be a daily occurrence around here. Latest claim to fame celerity DUI manslaughter case involved a WWE Hall-A-Famer with multiple DUI's just the other day (sorry no pictures on that one).

Like the saying goes, "nobody sweats the details like GM, and they don't"!!!
I forgot I should of posted the companion screenshot of that cylinder, the guy that was tearing it down (engine salvage guy) said he's never seen such a destroyed engine, Engine was out of a pickup truck.

You should see what happens to 6L90 transmissions. I just traded in my 2014 GMC with 150k on the clock. Tranny was toast. My 06 Duramax will be the last GM I ever buy.
