    Being an engineer (aka., enginr), I'm somewhat amused and relieved it was just a typo.

    damn, that's hilarious. The dude's license is suspended, so he can't drive the car... yet he's poured $6-7k into it in the past few months, and is intentionally destroying his engine so he can put in a new one.

    Seriously... his GF should be like "Wth? your car was running great, you decide you want this new engine for it, i tell you no... and that same night the engine just *happens* to blow up? I'm still saying no to the new engine, dumb***."

    The saddest of all - he failed to hydrolock the engine purposefully.

    Saddest, yes... surprising... not really. We aren't exactly dealing with the brightest individual here, i think we could all agree.
