Major engine problem today, or, Flatbed Club here I come!
I was under hard accelleration and heard/felt a bang from the engine. Immediately there was a complete loss of power, along with a HUGE cloud of white smoke out of the exhaust. I'm afraid I had a ring go bad, or maybe my head gasket blew. I'm thinking that it's the former, though, because the dipstick showed no oil when I checked it about 30 mins later. The car is now at McDaniels Audi here in Charleston. Anyone have any ideas?

On another note, I took this pic not five minutes before it happened. Could this be the last pic of my car while it was alive??? :-(

I guess that would be better than head or block damage...
But why the lack of oil on the dipstick? The inside of my exhaust tips were also wet with something, which I presumed to be the oil.
