Yeah, I left my gas cap at the Esso at Hiway 10 and 99, my new one that the chrome still shines on. I had to put the rusty one back on that I found just after replacing it with the shiny one. I was distracted as this was the first Hortons stop after getting back across the border.
My only carnage was the exhaust manifold on the LJ81. Man that thing is loud! Linda said the oil light came on on her way home Sunday morning. She pulled over at the summit and let it rest a few minutes, then drove the rest of the way home without problem. I think it must've been the hot exhaust blowing right onto the sending unit (which, of course, is right under the manifold), so that it sent a false reading, 'cause it had plenty of oil. She said the temp. gauge still read normal the whole time.
The only difference between an ordeal and an adventure is your attitude

Youch, a small problem since he's trying to sell it. That sucks.
Revolving door of LJ's, currently down to one LJ 81
Well the turbo is supposed to be back this Friday. I think it cost him around $575 to get it rebuilt and about another $500 in labour and other parts he needs as a result. Should be running again by Monday night.
But yeah, it's a sucky thing to happen.
LJ80s, I can't collect them all, but I might still try...
Turns out the fuel was fine, however, something came lose from some where and entered the turbo and did some damage. No one is sure of where it came from yet, so it's kinda weird.
