"Is a good car except for the fact that the engine blew at 50,000 miles"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My car was basically an amazing car, I had some nice blue interior lights put in and some subs in the trunk so everybody thought my car was amazing. I've had no problems with my car until about a month before leaving for college. Driving to the beach my car randomly shut off, but immediately turned back on. Getting off the southern state at about 2 in the morning my car shut off and when I turned it back on made a horrible noise. I had to get it towed to my mechanic a few miles away just to find out that my push rod bearings went at 50k, and now its just sitting in my garage and I have no idea what to do.

General comments?

Car was so fun to drive and is a really nice looking car. Its also extremely quick. The only thing that sucks about the car is that the back seats are small when you have big friends and the leather is beginning to wear on the drivers side from constantly getting in and out.

Would the author kindly explain what in the world "pushrod bearings" are???

They are similar to muffler bearings==== They are located in the canuter valve.

You spun a rod bearing- a connecting rod bearing not pushrod.
