Fortunately I pulled over in front of a car wash so I was able to get water. Three trips with a half gallon jug that I had in the back and the radiator is full again (reservoir never changed) It was at least enough to get me back home, I had steam coming out from under the hood by the time I pulled into the driveway. Took it in to the garage today and I need a new radiator and have the coolant system flushed out because it's all gunked up, which is why the water never made it from the reservoir to the radiator. It'll cost me $550.00 for all that when I finally get my truck back. At least thats what they told me on the phone, I hope it's not more. I really stinks being without your wheels, you feel like your chained down.

Ugh! Sorry to hear your car is giving you problems too!

a wee bit cranky, I would be furious!!! Glad they are getting you a rental car!!! Hope things will be better for you all!!

Ugh Robin, I knew about some of the troubles, but not all, that stinks!! I am so sorry to hear about all the problems, but I think more than anything after all of this, you guys really need a getaway and Daytona is the place, we can keep it cheap, after getting the room ofcourse. You have plenty of friends staying with you that would be happy to hang out and have a good time with you guys. Keep your head up!

wow, my neighbors got a 2000 Catera and the caddy dealership was gonna charge him 600 just to change the battery cable
