Someone please remind me why I am supposed to love this car.
 On the way to work this morning, just after filling up, pull onto the hiway and slowly get into the throttle. Just as I'm shifting into 3rd at a modest 50mph whoof.... WTF was that? Car is a complete dog... first thought is blown intercooler line... pull over and pop the hood. Nope, everything's tight. Oh shit. Start it up again. This time white smoke that I hadn't noticed earlier pours from the exhaust. Oh F@#$!! Best guess at this point is either a head gasket or turbo that blew. Car has been eating (not leaking) antifreeze for the last couple weeks.

I have no clue what's going on. Pulled the intake and downpipe, nothing out of the ordinary there. Pulled the plugs, didn't look waterfouled or anything. I'd like to borrow a compression tester from someone if I could. That would rule out the head gasket... or confirm it...
