Angry what the hell happened??

well... i dunno what the hell went wrong but now my engine is seized.. i was backin into my parking space and all of the sudden there was a fairly loud clank sound and the car shut off. and wouldnt start back up. i couldnt even get the starter to turn over. i went out there today to see if i could get it to turn over at all manually. and i cant get it to budge. i tried turning the crank pulley...and i bet i could stand on the ratchet and it still not move. i compression tested it not too long ago and it was hittin 92psi on all surfaces on both rotors and ran great. i havent been driving it hard or anything considering i dont have my liscence and its not tagged. but i start it up and let it run for 15min every day and drive it around the block 2-3 times a week.

To be sure, take off all the belts, have the clutch in and THEN try and turn it.
Unless your starter has somehow failed, enguaged the flywheel and jammed, then your engine is siezed.

If it does turn like that your tranny could be stuff or some other accessory.
