So on the way from the grand canyon to vegas my car started acting up. I look under the hood and the ENGINE is all the way forward in the engine bay. The damndrivers side motor mount came undone. Check the pics and theres a vid of me shaking the engine around. It looks like the bolt that holds that mount stripped out and just came out.

s***, dude. Did you torque that bolt or just put some muscle on it? You figure out a way to get it home yet?

Ouch good luck with that. Any idea how that would just happen? Have you replaced that motor mount?

Mount? Hell... he's replaced the whole motor! (thumb)
 
i took it to a shop in flagstaff Az and they fixed it. They charged me $150 to rethread the hole and replace the bolt. I dont know if its a permanent fix but its got me to LA and then back to scottsdale Az where im at now. The place ***** me on the price cuz they knew i was from outta town.
 
wat parts can be damaged from something like this?
edit: holy ur engine moved like those from pimped out muscle cars
