It started knocking bad (metal hitting metal) on the freeway at about 75mph. I made it to the next off ramp, and parked it.

When it got to the dealer he started it up for about one second, shut it off and shook his head.

I left it there for them to double check. They had it for a few hours. I'm not sure if they pulled the oil pan off or not, but said it was pretty obvious the engine was trashed internally.
