i took the coupe around the town since i finally finished painting it and finished the interior of the car.i drove around town with a group of local guys with hondas an s13 hatch and 2 s14's.we drove for about 15mins when my motor started to brake-up so i stoped to have a look and it looked fine,no loose conections nothing.it went away for a little then it came back in a bad way. i was driving on a major street when all of a sudden i hear a loud pop and smoke everywere!!!!i pulled of in the nearest parking lot(bearly making it)turned the car off and got out. got the jack out of my car and rasied it. coolent was supuing out. i cracked the block. there was about 15 cars all cramed in a dollar general parking lot.then the popo show up. the cop was very helpful, i was going to call a tow truck but i lived about a half mile away so i was going to drive home. the cop told me that he was going to escort me home.i got in the car ,it took about 4 to 5 times turning it over then it started.i had to floor it so it whould not turn off on me.the tired kae was done it bearly made it to my house with a whooping top speed of 15mph(flooring it). i was going to buy aero as i posted but now i am just going to put it towards a motor swap.(what motor do you guys think i should get?) i want to have the car back on the road so i can hit up some club loose events and ikea philly meets.
