My Car is DEAD!!!

Yesterday on my way to Florida to see my sister for thanksgiving, my car decided to quit on me. I had it towed to the nearest Honda dealership, which was in Valdost, GA, and they told me that my engine is blown. So my plans to have a good dinner with my sister and also to try to meet some of you in south FL, has gone sown the toilet.
It cost me $421 to have the car towed from Valdosta to north Atlanta. And since the car is out of warranty, I am gonna have to pay for a new engine[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

I don't know exactly how it blew. All I know is that the oil had been changed last satu8rday and they did not tell me anything was wrong with the car. The engine is totally locked[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

For the 45,087 miles that are on the car, I have always had the car serviced at the dealership. That is what pissed me off the most. So, when the person from American Honda comes out and inspects the car, I will have an upper hand(hopefully).
