Last night in a really bad downpour I ran up over a median curb, as the road swerved and I didn't. My fault, but I believe anyone would have made the same error on an unfamiliar road due to the heavy rain and standing water.

I was only going about 20 - 25, but my oil pan is trashed, a significant crack or cracks, I have not jacked it up and examined it closely. Luckily I was able to limp to a parking lot with good oil pressure and shut it down with no loss of oil pressure. Got it flatbedded to home.

So, I'm in the market for a new pan. I don't know if 96 or 97 non turbo 606 pans will fit, but I hope so, to broaden the possibilities.

This is such a bummer, I was less than 30 miles from home after a strong 250 mile run at 70 - 75+ the whole way, the car is running fanatastic. Or was...
