Default A photoshoot... Gone bad

I went to my friend's house in Arlington Heights, and while I was there I decided to take some good quality pictures with his camera. So we drive down the street to a parking garage, and snap some photos...

When we went to leave disaster struct... I heard a ping noise as i was leaving the garage, I looked out my window and saw a light colored object. I assumed it was a rock and kept moving. When I got out of the garage I looked back and saw the puddle, then pulled the car back into the garage and shut it off...






The oil drail plug shot out, and all the oil drained... I'm hoping that nothing horrible comes from this, the car is still running tho

As long as the vital parts were coated with oil and this happened over a short period of time, you should be fine. Lucky you caught that in time. Judging by the color of the oil, it looks pretty old so the plug must've vibrated loose over some time. Who did your last change? Never take it back to them.
