Day 46.  Ugh!  Ok, I can do this.  First of all, thanks dad for teaching  me basic mechanic skills.  I might not be able to overhaul an engine but I think I can fix this.  First it was the water pump, then the thermostat, and today the radiator blew up.  Literally, it blew up.  I flushed the radiator this morning and everything was going good.  When I was finished with everything I took it out for a drive.  On the way home it began to overheat.  I parked and turned off the motor and as I was about to get out, boom, and steam started pouring  out from under the hood, on three sides.  I waited for it to cool down and this is what I found.  So, it's back to the parts store and probably another skinned knuckle or two, and it will be running again.  It's 16 years old but I really enjoy driving it.  Anyway, with so much going wrong I know that something really right is about to happen.
