My Bonnie is dead
i woke up today and started my car up,it was not that cool here in maine at9:30..
pulled out of driveway..drove for about 3 miles,started hearing a clunking sound,then i head a pop and then the oil light came on and no oil pressure..she wouldnt start..i smelled burned oil,sad part is it was changed 2,000 miles ago.
RIP @ 139,xxx miles

Sorry to hear that. Did you have good pressure when you started it up? How often do you check your oil level? My car will burn about 1/2 a quart in 3000 or so. How much was in the motor after she died? Did you wreck the block? Details I know....but I like to know alll the details I can to diagnose the problems at hand easier.

Sorry to hear about your loss....
I notice the vultures are circling.... if you plan on parting her out, let us know.
BTW... what color (inside/out)?
Also.... you may wanna change you're sig?
