Someone did a tune-up on my car, broke a spark plug and didn't get the ceramic out of the hole.. Now my car probably has a blown head gasket so I get to replace the engine before worrying about anything else.. Life sucks..

Ouch. Headgasket repair can be pricey. Were you able to remove the ceramic? Is it running fine for now?

Nah.. I'm going to get an oil change but I think the damage has been done.. It's misfiring rather badly and smoking white.. I am going to have a mechanic check the engine and assess the damage but I think it's too far badly hurt..

Woof, that's rough. Who did the tune up? I'd go back there and ask what they were going to do to fix their mistake.

Hope everything turns out alright!
