Ouch! That tops it! Sorry for your loss. :(

Not nearly as bad, but I do have a tendency to overload mine a bit.

In this picture the total weight is over 10,500 lbs. It topped 12,200
lbs. on the return trip. I drove it 1500 miles that way over the
passes in Oregon. Poor thing, I'm giving it a Porsche transmission
now as penance. (and hoping that will last longer than 20K miles)
