Reminds me of this exact day...........two years ago.
I was struggling to get the '87 from Raleigh to Virginia Beach for Thanksgiving. The oil consumption climbed from one quart every 100 miles to one quart every 20 miles and I knew that I was toast.
Had to turn it around and try to get it back to the mechanic in Raleigh. About 40 miles. It didn't make it.........too much oil.........
So, it was Greyhound for me that afternoon. Four hours to get to Petersburg and another hour to wait to be picked up. 90 minutes to get to the destination in VA.
Had to fly back to NY and return to get the M/B on another trip after the turbo was replaced.
..........breaking down on the road sucks.........my condolonces..........
