Life's most embarrassing car moments

Car shown in avatar had a 318 with a mild build, no aftermarket gauges. After leaving work, I was riding down the highway with a loud exhaust and BOOM!!!!! Engine blows up in the middle of the highway leaving a James Bond smoke screen and I coast to a stop several hundred feet later; oil everywhere and 2 holes made their presence known through the headers. Ghetto tow truck driver said my car was only worth 2K because of it's age. New tranny/rear and fresh paint job and excellent interior.

Later, I found the oil pump had unbolted and hit the crank thereby blasting 2 holes in the block. Who ever heard of a 318 blowing up??
Now: quality temp and oil pressure gauges.
