Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

It was -11 with a windchill of -40 last night and the good old Eldorado fired right up. My heat wouldn't work though so it was a cold drive home...
 
It has to stay nice and warm in the garage when its this cold.




Actually..



I haven't picked it up from the seller yet lol. I'll be doing that either tomorrow or Friday when I don't have class.
 


Not at all.. My dad is coming to get it this weekend and take it away from me forever thank god.

All in all I have a lot of memories with this car and I do enjoy it. It's just the fact that it's a freaking Northstar and has all of the 15 year old car issues minus rust.

Dropped off the Acadia at the dealer. It developed a noise lunch time. Took the GP back to work. The 180* thermostat should have been replaced. Heater not too good.
 
Dug out both cars yesterday and started them up. Drove the gas saver around a bit. Realized that around town it simply won't rise above 130*. The engine simply makes too little heat to even open the tstat, which opens at 180*. And apparently, in Toyota's world, that's just fine.

In my world, it isn't, because it means the heater is halfassed at best.
 
I found out what was wrong with the Acadia. It's $2000+ just for the part, torque tube or something. 99300 miles, I'm glad i bought the extended warrenty.
