i mean, we're talking about a car built in 2002, not a 1968 beetle. what could i have done to prevent this from happening? it's not like this is an old car, and only sat for few months. it's a big surprise to me. i didn't buy the car thinking the engine could possibly break in the first 20 minutes of ownership.

i took the head off last night to take a look at the damage....i will post some pics later. basically the valve hung open and took a big chunk off the piston then proceded to suck chunks of metal throughout the intake.
