Default Spun Bearing Club

Well it finally happened. No matter how many times you hear about it you think it could never happen to you. But today my son spun a bearing on his '93 Toyota Camry.

Car has some miles and leaks oil out the front seal so I told him and told him a million times he has to check and add oil to it every week. Does he listen to me? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. This is the third time I caught him with 3-4 quarts low, guess three times a charm. Freaking Camry's are indestructible but he managed anyway. Now I have to figure out what to do. Either get him another clunker or pick up a junkyard motor for it.

Just wanted to share it's not just our cars that spin bearings.

Probably spent too much time sitting next to the Mitsu. I hear spun bearings are contagious.
