Sorry to hear that Garrett, always sucks ass.

If it makes you feel better, I tossed my rear end, rear axles, driveshaft and rear subframe today on my first pass on the launch!

It was pretty badass too! I was lovin it, even though it will be expensive to fix.

Yeah, here is the super-slow-motion vid showing the regular speed, slow-motion in 600fps, and the after carnage!

I'm sorry, but that was AWESOME! It sucks, but that's freakin cool to see. I have a pic from GLD last summer when some guy blew his tranny up and you can see it just start to come out the bottom in the pic. Let me find it real quick...

Wouldn't have thrown a rod if it was a rotary :goof

(It would've just chucked a seal, overheated or had oil system failure)

A blown rotary probably would have blown a seal out the exhaust and tore up my big expensive turbo.

I knew the rotary guys would get a kick out of this:)
