Default Re: What was your 1st car?

Lynn about 15 years ago a guy who lived near a shop where I worked owned a dodge pickup with a slant 6 in it.It threw a rod,and he drove it with the rod embedded in the side of the block every day for who knows how long.Had a hole in the side of the block you could see the internals flailing around.Sounded like a dead miss,but it drove.Leaked just a small amount of oil thru the fairly large window,surprising to me.Old engines were so cool sometimes.
