well today i took the day off to operate surgery on the s. =( i'm pretty saddened, it feels like i lost a family member. anyhow, me and a friend of mine did push start the car, it ran for a couple of seconds, engined would pop, ran like crap (stuttered), so i knew it would be best just to shut it off. i'll have pics posted of the damage. hopefully its just the head

Am I missing something, or just being a dumbass, but why didn't the rev limiter kick in to prevent damage (unless it's been removed)?
