We Have Clearance, Clarance....Roger, Roger.....Over, Under

On a spur of the moment decision, I decided to fly to Denver. See the boy's Dad flies for Delta so I can fly pretty cheap on his buddy passes. So I decided to cruise home and hang with the fam for a few days. So the boy and I woke up at 4:00 AM on Tuesday morning to beat Atlanta rushhour and get me to the airport in time to catch the first flight out of town. En route to the airport my car decided to start knocking very very loudly. Turns out...it had no oil. This is VERY bad for an engine. In my defense, I would like to stress that I know a good bit about cars. My dad restores cars and made me learn the ends and outs of an engine before I was aloud to start driving. I routinly check the oil and provide my little Toyota with the scheduled maintanance required to keep it purring. This time around I did not check the oil between oil changes...this is the result. How all of the oil was gone....I don't know. Did I have any warning before the engine locked up?....Nope! Do I think the people the boy took the car to have the oil changed while I was in Peru fucked up and didn't put enough oil in my car?....Yep! Is my trip home cancelled?...You betcha. The results are in from the mechanic and the engine is totally shot. We are talking upwards of $2500 to replace the engine and pay the mechanic for labor. Unfortunately, that is more than my little 1997 Corolla is worth. Looks like I will be riding my bike a lot more in the coming days. Can anyone give me a ride to Target? Thanks.
