well it got off to a great start to be sure... :-\

30 miles outside of sa my engine decides that now is a good time to blow, this is my second KA to throw a rod through the block in case someone was keeping a tally. anyway, my buddy J.R. was driving ahead of me and so i phoned him and he turned around. dude seriously this was the middle of nowhere. the only thing close to us is a pig farm, run by a real good ol' boy. he was nice enough to let me park my car there until Ryan and Ty could come trailer it back home. turns out the engine still ran... with a gigantic hole in the block! so long story short, i avoided getting raped by a pig farmer and had to push my car down an exit ramp while dodging 18 wheelers, than make a three point turn on the two way access road. but after that it was just a pleasant push up hill to her resting place.

anyway that was the start to my Christmas holiday. and thanks again to Ryan and Ty for going and getting my baby.

No dented oil pan. Water pump probably went out, head gasket blew for sure, overheated, and BOOM, rod thru block. It was absolute destruction.

what about this one http://texasnissans.com/tx/forums/showthread.php?p=89249&posted=1#post89249 Plus if you put a new HG and rebuild your head the car will run like a champ.
