Other info:	I road race a '66 Dodge Dart at PIR (Portland International Raceway) and drive the mostly stock Conquest on the street. Also own a '72 Dodge van for pulling the race car and a '57 Studebaker Golden Hawk that I am restoring.

The bearing starved for oil and spun in the rod. The rod then broke at the big end. The wadded up mess on the right is the remains of the rod bearing. It also broke a small hole out of the block and cracked the block through the oil pan rail. Comment for image #10563 9-06-2002 @ 09:08:55 PM Posted By: Joshie273   Uncle Buck! You're car's over here!

Duh!? http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/karen_obrien/BMWM6.htm Comment for image #10552 9-06-2002 @ 07:19:36 PM Posted By: Joshie273   Ha! I effin' found it! It is an M6. Almost identical engine to the M5, however. Comment for image #10542 9-06-2002 @ 07:12:54 PM Posted By: Joshie273   Sure, it's ugly, but they went around corners like nothing else. Active aero that even works standing still. I doubt a modern Formula 1 car could go around a 50-100' skidpad faster.

Comment for image #10552 9-06-2002 @ 07:06:02 PM Posted By: Joshie273   Looks like an old M5 from here. Individual throttles for each cylinder is a good thing.

The huge 4 banger with the exposed pushrods in the background almost predates rice itself.

Comment for image #23 1-02-2002 @ 06:47:39 PM Posted By: Joshie273   I think my 3 year old might like it. Lots of bright primary colors. It would be hard to loose in a parking lot! Didn't need del Sol on the side to ID the car. Looks like a chick's car. Wants to look pretty, but ended up looking pretty dumb.
