Dang...know a friend with a tow truck? -- MrBayAreaHokie 06/28/2021 5:50PM
Can't fix it with duct tape? ** -- `lag 06/28/2021 2:09PM
Probably going to need Flex Tape for that one. ** -- Tafkam Hokie 06/28/2021 2:23PM
Applied with a small Spurtle -- Newt 06/28/2021 6:10PM
I think the combination will fix anything ** -- turkeywinghokie 06/28/2021 3:03PM
It should be like any impact right? -- chemhokie 06/28/2021 1:49PM
Gorilla tape! ** -- Major Kong 06/28/2021 1:33PM
Have you returned to the scene of the incident? -- MP4VT2004 06/28/2021 12:48PM
Spackle ** -- LonghornHokie 06/28/2021 11:54AM
Yow ** -- PhotoHokieNC 06/28/2021 11:26AM
On a similar note- my car went from a bad fuel problem -- YardBird 06/28/2021 10:12AM
Ugh...sorry to hear that. ** -- MP4VT2004 06/28/2021 12:40PM
What kind of car? ** -- Brown Water 06/28/2021 10:05AM
2016 Mazda CX-5 Touring, Regular unleaded 2.0L engine. 38K miles ** -- Nova Hokie 95 06/28/2021 10:15AM
You should ask for a courtesy warranty on that. ** -- NokieHokie 06/28/2021 11:51AM
I asked if it was covered by warranty -- Nova Hokie 95 06/28/2021 11:53AM
What is the alleged outside cause? ** -- NokieHokie 06/28/2021 11:59AM
Me running over something metal in the road ** -- Nova Hokie 95 06/28/2021 12:06PM
IED? ** -- Happy Dog 06/28/2021 12:22PM
A 1x1 hole in the engine block isn't from "running over something metal in -- Tafkam Hokie 06/28/2021 12:15PM
Maybe he ran over a Spartan phalanx - never know in NOVA ** -- Happy Dog 06/28/2021 12:42PM
Yeah, i've never heard of that happening ** -- `lag 06/28/2021 12:32PM
My insurance inspector should be able to figure it out, then -- Nova Hokie 95 06/28/2021 12:28PM
Outside object would get you insurance coverage. Engine defect would be no -- Stork 06/28/2021 12:41PM
Exactly my thinking -- Nova Hokie 95 06/28/2021 12:47PM
Except you are ideally positioned for both the insurance co and the -- Tafkam Hokie 06/28/2021 1:47PM
I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee that had rust bubbles on the hood/paint job. -- Vtskier1 06/28/2021 6:18PM
Sorry I had read below where everyone thinks it was internal. ** -- NokieHokie 06/28/2021 12:13PM
Should have had a 67 Beetle -- Happy Dog 06/28/2021 10:44AM
Yep, two guys pull it out, no lift. ** -- `lag 06/28/2021 10:59AM
That should have a 2.5L engine. ** -- NokieHokie 06/28/2021 10:42AM
Grate, exactly the car I have: 2016 CX-5 Touring.... -- `lag 06/28/2021 10:29AM
...and what engine does it have? ** -- EDGEMAN 06/28/2021 10:10AM
/** -- `lag 06/28/2021 10:45AM
broken one now :/ ** -- FfxStationHokie 06/28/2021 10:26AM
JB Weld!! ** -- HokieDan95 06/28/2021 10:00AM
Ouch is right! -- EDGEMAN 06/28/2021 09:31AM
No, I heard something -- Nova Hokie 95 06/28/2021 09:48AM
Did you hear something? Or did you feel something? -- Beerman 06/28/2021 10:14AM
Valid point. ** -- RoswellGAHokie 06/28/2021 10:17AM
Heard. -- Nova Hokie 95 06/28/2021 10:17AM
I would honestly say the more likely cause is an engine defect and -- ElbertoHokie 06/28/2021 10:42AM
Look at the hole in the block, does the puncture hole taper in, or out? -- HokieSignGuy 06/28/2021 11:44AM
Good call! ** -- HokieForever 06/28/2021 1:12PM
Agree, what in the world could you run over at that speed -- HokieForever 06/28/2021 11:44AM
Agreed. Seems far more likely that hole was initiated inside. ** -- Pylons 06/28/2021 10:51AM
That sucks. Is it covered by insurance? Maybe similar to hitting a deer? -- dans93 06/28/2021 09:52AM
I’m putting a call into them this morning to find that out ** -- Nova Hokie 95 06/28/2021 10:05AM
If you have to pay out of pocket, it's time to make a command decision -- EDGEMAN 06/28/2021 10:10AM
Normally, you're probably right. But getting your hands on a new or used -- Tafkam Hokie 06/28/2021 10:32AM
In order to punch a hole in the block, must have hit something.... -- EDGEMAN 06/28/2021 09:59AM
A 50 caliber sniper rifle can punch a hole in an engine block -- EDGEMAN 06/28/2021 10:01AM
We've got a lot of engineers here...how does the kinetic energy of a thrown -- Tafkam Hokie 06/28/2021 2:03PM
Maybe Nova 95 just got his name in the phone book? ** -- Tafkam Hokie 06/28/2021 10:38AM
"He hates these engine blocks!" ** -- Brown Water 06/28/2021 12:02PM
We had a rock puncture the radiator on 270 - covered ** -- Happy Dog 06/28/2021 09:59AM
How does that happen? ** -- Stork 06/28/2021 09:29AM
My guess is there was a flaw in the block from the casting process. -- EDGEMAN 06/28/2021 09:33AM
Yeah, that would be my question, when was the last time you heard of that. -- `lag 06/28/2021 10:19AM
He said it was running just fine when he pulled over and shut it off -- EDGEMAN 06/28/2021 6:04PM
