Engine dead again
Tibby blew another engine last weekend, and the insurance ain't being nice about it.
This makes the 4th motor installed in 14 months.
At least i have the only 35,000 dollar tibby.

running n/a, and exactially ZERO engine/mechanical mods at the time.
Was raining a lil hard during a drive on the interstate and she started sputtering and died soon after. Towed to dealer, and they said engine drowned again. Insurance is being dicks about it, full investigation, calling everyone and their mother..etc..etc..
AND it happend the day after i put a brand new set of tires on da car.
Well, RIP 3rd engine, maybe i'll have better luck with motor number 4.
((starting to not like hyundai's again))
Anyway, it will be at least 2 months till i have car back, the investigator told me the investigation will last no less than a month, and if they DO cover it, i already know it will be 2 weeks till car is running and another week or so to fix the rebuild ****ups that will result.
