Default my motor is toast

well i just hit the 68k mile marker today.. and about 5 minutes ago i got on the highway and all the sudden sounds like a rod got loose.. and the Knock gets WAY louder as RPMs go up. i also noticed earlier today once when i hit vtec it didnt kick untill about 7100 rpms... so my S2k is out of the game for at least 6 months.. i have no money to fix it i might even concider selling it because i cant afford anything right now i barly just changed the oil in it too.. i barly afforded that. well if i do sell the car it was nice hanging with everyone and if it gets fixed see you in another 6 months

yeah i think i would refund them their money if this happened to someone if i sold the car and it did this 1k miles later.. or id pay for the new motor swap.. but currently i am broke, no job, and nobody is hiring im pretty much screwed for now.. im talking with my parents about it tommorow.. my dad knows about it and isnt very happy about it.
