I was just trying to coast into the next town and there was one spot where I just gave it a little bit of gas, I heard a very loud bang, and by the time I just rolled down the hill and stopped in the gas station, There was white smoke flooding my cabin. I also noticed that it was harder to turn my wheel and the battery light was on.The inside I’ve gotten from friends of mine is that the head gasket blew - but I’m not really sure because I’m not an expert on cars. I noticed as well when I popped the hood that there was a lot of some type of liquid splashed along the drivers side near the battery, and I think it was oil that was dribbling out underneath my carAny advice is helpful, i need to determine if my car is a write off or not</blockquote>
