I was just cruising down the highway on I71 north bound to Cleveland, and my car started buzzing. I turned the radio down and knew something was wrong. I go to take the next exit and can't get over in time. Not very long afterwards my engine destroyed itself. Piston 4 went through the block and I think 3 went through the oil pan. In absolute terror I stopped the car on the shoulder.. Smoke rolling out. Popped the hood and the front of my engine is on fire. Oil and coolant leaking every where and the front of the oil pan has a hole in it and its on fire inside the pan. I ran and got my fire extinguisher and did my best to put it out. It wasn't quite enough and it continued to smolder. I get back into the car to call 911 and my phone is dead. I flagged people for what seemed like an eternity before a man stopped. It began pouring rain by the time a fire truck got to us. The man that stopped to help gave me a ride to a friends house in Cleveland and I'm grateful for his generosity. I'm completely devastated about this. I just want to know what happened.. My afr was fine..my oil pressure light never came on.
