Damn.. blew a rod..

I was driving down the highway and boom.. Heard a noise and truck stalled out. Pulled off the highway and looked under hood. A little bit of smoke and looked a little further. This is what I found. Damn blown rod right out of the oil pan.. not on just one side, but both! SOB... Anyone got a spare engine laying around?? lol

Some gorilla glue for the rod and a spray can of leak away for the pan and you're ready to go! The guy on the infomercial says it'll fix anything!
