Up in Smoke
Man, my car fast now. I just installed my new Turbo and have some good base maps for it that made it fly...
Tonight a friend and I went driving around to scare up some stangs or whatnot (nice pun for Halloween, huh?) We couldn't find one so decided to stop. I ran it to the drug store to buy some vitamins. I know, I'm really weird about taking those things. I went out to fire it up and something fishy happened. Something in the air twasn't right. I smelled the sweet aromatic fumes of antifreeze.
******* ****, *****-******* ******* bitches alive! I have sprung a leak. This thing started really subtle. I rode off and spotted some of my friends in a parking lot that we drove by. I started it up again, and this time it was a veritable smoke screen. I have heard all of the horror stories but **** man, I at least expected the SOB to last over 80 thousand. The interested thing that I found were a few precursors that might of been a sign of a leak. First my water temps were a bit harder to maintain. Then my car would lose a bit of coolant each day with no signs of antifreeze coming from the exhaust and finally it was progressively hard to start.
Well...the big engine decision remains now. Have pity.
Garrett (not Cameron, wanna go with me to Kannapolis to drop my car off at Bryan's Cameron?)
Ps. also posted this on nopistons for those who are having deja vu and in there it is under Garrett
