The Last Straw...
So, today I have to be to work at 8 to do something important, so I get in the SVX and its like 68 degrees outside, so i open the sunroof put the windows down and jump on the highway. Traffic is rather light, and i look down and my temp guage is having a fit, its going up and down and all over. So I flick the cluster and floor i and it goes back down to middle....i let off the gas, it tries to be funny and goes back up higher then i have ever seen, at this point im a little worried, so I floor it, and it drops below the middle and dips into being too cool. I hop the nearest exit, pull into a sinclair station cuz i needed gas anyways, white clouds from under the hood, I pop my hood the top of my radiator is seperated from the core...and leaking and hissing quite madly. I bummed a quarter from the clerk to call a tow truck...Now its sitting at Mark Miller Subaru, and its gonna sit and think about what its done, this had prompted me to fix it and sell it, but after thinking about it all day..I guess I will keep it because its not the car's fault the previous owner left it in a field heheh...

Ouch. Sorry to hear that Dustin. Any idea on how much it will cost to replace the radiator?

Dustin. Just do what I've done over the past, almost, six years. I've just collected all my "last straws." I now have a great big bale.
