So anyhow one day on the way to the track for Porsche race day he stopped and put I think like 3 Liters in the motor, it was down quite abit.. so fast forward an hour or so..im sitting on the back straight grilling a burger on the portable grill..along comes Kyle in his race tuned 968...drifting perfectly at high speed through a nice banked corner... then pop!! Motor exploded..rods went south.. punched holes in the pan.. and that was that..968 completely ****ing done. A new crate motor was like $35K at the time, i was like hey man what oil you gonna use this time?

BTW.... he also tried to pour the oil into the windshield washer fluid reservoir.. blue lid means oil right?!!


Good times.... and the burger tasted fine.
