I nominate myself...
...for a darwin award. This morning I was half asleep and in a huge hurry, started the 69' 220D and instantly backed out and took off. This car takes a solid 5-7 seconds for ful oil pressure to be achieved, around 5 seconds the oild pressure needle shoots up from 0 to 45. So I know I drove the car with little to no oil pressure. I was telling my girlfriend about this, and she says she's done it 5-6 times, take off without letting the car gain full oil pressure. In my car. So... I know this can't be good, any ideas of how much I may have damage the rings/cylinders/etc after a few times taking off this way?
