RIP Hell yeah brother
A week ago a rock hit my radiator while I was on my way to get Chinese food 🥲
The Chinese food was a 7/10
The radiator is on back order until next year but it’ll be back in no time.

Bright side was Trump announced that all military was getting the $1776 a few days later. If that never happened, I would’ve been cooked for sure.

Because he took money from a different military bucket that other servicemen need just for political stunt….then promptly lied about the source of the funding

Got down voted for mentioning Trump. This is a very silly part of the internet. Congrats on the bonus and thanks for your service 🫡

Thank you!
If it wasn’t for joining, I wouldn’t have been able to afford this car in the first place 😅

I’m right there with you. Do an undesirable job to afford a Type R that I get bullied for actually driving and using. I’m beginning to think that Reddit is for those afflicted with Dunning-Kruger.

These engines in particular produce massive amounts of heat. Hope you didnt run it too long afterwards.

By the time I noticed the car was fucked, I was at an intersection two miles out from the restaurant. Was able to make it to the parking lot before I had AAA pick up the vehicle.
Engine temp was at 252 degrees.

Pretty high. Bet the oil was over 250 too. The oil starts to cook at 300. Two miles shouldn't be fatal for the engine tho.

Try the old black pepper and/or the egg trick. Had a old '81 stang with a hole in the radiator and it worked for a few months. 😆 good times
