Im gonna go look at it with him tommorow, see if we notice any damage. He says he was 64 south, oil pressure just plummeted and then he started hearing ticking/knocking and immediately pulled over. Got a 300 dollar tow from NoVa or wherever he was on the highway.

We'll see, if the engine really is toast Ill be sure to corrupt his mind with various upgrades

Hopefully not though.
