FAILURE!

On July 12th, 2007, at this location, the Baseline/Guadalupe Rd exit (Exit 155) of the southbound Interstate 10 in Tempe, Arizona, suburb of Phoenix, Galant VR4 #195 of 2000 nuked it's THIRD engine. That dirty little whore.

UPDATE: Cause of the failure was determined to be poor maintenance of the engine by the prior owner. Engine was installed with over 200,000 miles on it in order to get the car running to sort the chassis after having sat outside in New Mexico for something like three years. Bearings showed signs of wear. Original, composite head gasket finally gave out, resulting in massive nukeage.
