Looking closer I guess she put that capo in front of the first fret = one whole step up. Which makes a little more sense. Barre chords and all that jazz. But, I digress...

Cracking retainers from a mechanical overrev will not result in any noticable oil consumption or any noise signatures, but it is a ticking time bomb. You've already driven at least 120 miles on them it sounds like so I would get them checked ASAP.

Do not drive the car any more until you pull the valve cover and see ALL the retainers. There's plenty of posts here that show a good vs a cracked retainer, if any are cracked, you will need to have them replaced. The car will drive normally until one of the valves drops into the cylinder, then the car won't drive any more until you replace the engine.

Scary thought. I have edited it in my first post BUT this is my SECOND over rev.
My last over rev was approximately 3-4K miles before this recent one. I didn't start searching information about over revving until my buddy mentioned to me this past weekend that over revving in a S is pretty BAD. I think it's scary and stupid of me for not thinking this was such a serious problem at all. And I can't believe I did not think over revving was such a BAD BAD problem. Anyways, pulling my valve cover off to check them out tonight. Will update you all.

This is what you're looking for. If the keeper/cotter is below the black line highlighted here then you have a cracked retainer.
