Well, my 240 bit the dust.

It overheated on I-5 on my way to work. The engine died coasting down a mountain and now the thing will hardly turn over. All of the coolant boiled out and the engine was waaay to hot to touch.

After I let it cool down it did start but I didn't leave it running long enough to tell how well it was or what kind of noises it is making. I'm sure it must have done some major damage so I'm going to either sell it or trade it in on a newer one (that is what I hope will happen)

The very sad Starlin
