It was a Saturday. The sky was blue and it was hot as hell. I needed a part for one of my customers cars. The part was at a dealer about an hour away. I decided to take the Notch to fetch the part. All was well untill I got to an area where there was nothing but road (Ocala National Forest); the cell phone didn't even work. The radio was turned up and the ac was full blast. I happend to glance at the gauges and noticed that the oil pressure was zero. At first I thought that the sender went bad. I turned off the radio so I could hear the motor. The motor sounded good for about one more minute. I had to make a decision at that point. Choice 1) shut it down and walk (cell phone not working) Choice 2) drive until I got cell phone signal and call for help. I chose 2. I did not want to walk in 100 degree heat for 15 miles. It just was not worth it. I had plans for the new motor anyway. I broke #1 and #2 rod clean from the crank and when I finally got to a place to make a call the engine was still running. I shut it off. I wasn't running well but it got me where I wanted to go. Blue Oval forever baby.
