so i found out my oil return line got a hug hole in it on my drive back from florida and during my 700mile drive today my car emptied all my oil and kaboom! i got stranded in virginia and to get my car towed back to philly is $1,000 with AAA. i got it towed to a family friends house which was basically in my limit with AAA plus. anybody know of any SR/JDM swap shops in or around DC/Alexandria VA???? ive been searching for a while on google but im just getting lots of crap. Im hoping there might be a shop who has a spare SR laying around or something. luckily i just sold my s13 so i do have money for another sr... im really devistated considering my SR had been treating me so well and was running so nicely. maybe i should have gotten the taka lines instead of staying with stock rubber lines. this is just a huge disaster after a great spring break.. if anybody knows of anyone in the area or close to DC, im willing to tow my car even further... i was thinking of renting a car with a hitch and something to tow my car back to philly where i have lots of options

did you consider renting a Uhaul with a dolley or something like that? If you get one of those trucks with no limits on mileage and just drive it out to your place I think you should be fine...

Sorry to hear about that, I just caught on to my oil return line from my turbo this past weekend also. Leaking slowly away...I kept wandering why my car was always low on oil after a week of driving and even faster if I've been boosting.
