What happens when you . . .

 . . . run a 2F (six-cylinder Land Cruiser) engine out of oil at highway speeds? My friend and master mechanic Bill Lee sent this photo from a customer's vehicle:

I wondered to Bill what that must have sounded like. He replied:

"First: BLAPBAMWHACKSCREECHBAMWHACK.

And then it sounded like a Tesla . . ."
