Good morning everyone. Woke up myself not feeling so well. So I hope you get better Wayne!!!

IDK if it is the weather or what, but my car felt like a rocket today. Really had some unusual pep this morning. It was welcomed by far haha.

Hope everyone had a good night. I'm exhausted watching the Phillies, but it was an amazing game, 9th inning last out and get the winning runs. AHhhh

If they win the World Series again I get a day off of work

Mike, I know what your talking about. Isnt it weird how sometimes the pep of your car changes. Sometimes mine feels way faster than usual, and other times it feels slugish compaired to usual. Weather does have a lot to do with it. So does altitude.

JJ, I made a new pot this morning. I'll share! LOL

So my car has been screwing with me lately about the stupid coolant level. Now that it's nice and cold when I start my car it likes to tell me that my coolant level is low, until my Thermostat opens up and then the light magically goes away.

I'm full in the radiator, and full on the overflow tank. I'm assuming sensor. Joy :-\ Why does stuff have to happen when it's cold and I don't feel like being under the hood for a while?!

Today we have more sunshine. Not as much as yesterday but I'll take it and the 65 degrees they predict for us.

I got the wheels off the '86 Monte right now. I'm rotating the tires and while I have them off the car I am bleaching the white letters and generally cleaning the wheels. Especially the back side. To get any road grime and brake dust off.

That can't be good.

I think I do have a worse situation? The Pace car seems to be loosing coolant. The dealership wants $50 to check the coolant system for leaks. I guess it's not bad money as long as they can tell me what the problem is? I sure don't want to scrap the engine from no coolant in the system.
