What happened to the old motor? How much for the new motor to be put in? How much did you pay for the motor itself?

You drove it with no oil? You never changed the oil? Never saw any oil leaks? Never checked the oil?

checked it like a mnth b/f but b/c I kept taking it in for the clutch i figured that since the garage that was working on my car did free 10 point inspects that they would make sure everything else was alright. They didn't and the led never came on so I was driving and bang it blew white smoke and all

The "oil" light is for the oil pressure and not for the oil itself.

I ran out of oil once. I got my oil changed at the dealdership where I bought my car, plug wasn't tightened, light came on, got it towed, no damage. If I damaged the engine, I would have a new KA engine in, for FREE! Man, I wish I could just go back in time!

I will also switch to 5spd, I'm using my income tax money, finally I get what I deserve!

ahh, reminds me when i got my 89 camry from my aunt.  i drove it, it was very unsmooth.  but i just thought it was old.  one day, i was waiting for someone, and decided to do a check up, i whipped the dip stick and couldn't believe my eyes, NOTHING was on the dipstick...  so tried again, and left the dipstick in there longer, still nothing...  so i'm convinced, toyotas are forever, the car has 256,000 miles on it, and i totaled it... still sitting in my garage, any offers? =)
