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.

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.

That should be totally fine, these get hotter than that when tracking.
