Yeah. It was the end of a 3 hour road trip. Car felt fine. Temp needle never moved above half way (where it always is). Never felt a loss of power while I was on the highway but when I got into town and was sitting at a stoplight, I noticed the dreaded white smoke. We tore it town on Friday, measured the head gasket and it was slightly warped (3 thousandths of an inch). Fingers crossed all weekend but they pressure tested it this morning and it has a crack inside, next to cylinder #4. Honestly, I've been expecting something like this would happen ever since I bought the car. That's the only thing that kept me from losing it!
