Knew it was going to happen.....didn't count on the wife being the one driving it when it did go.
It went out while she was driving, she drove home, parked it in the garage and took it out again for at least 20 miles [to the mall and back!]. When asked whether she saw the oil on the garage floor before she took it out again, she said "I thought it was water from the sprinklers".
The damage does not look all that bad at this point. The shop is going to tear down the engine this week, then I will know the extent of the damage.
Good news in all of this? All of the new parts that are going to be put in and I have an extended warrantee. This is why I bought the extended warrantee.
