ok so i just got my car registerd and decide i want to go crusing around for a while... well all goes good i drove 45mins there n back to the resitering place !!! well i go home then around 9pm i leave for that aboved mentioned crusise. well i drive out across town about 20mins from the house and im flying down a dark country road and BAM the heater start blowing ice cold!! Im like OH SH_IT O' my god no!!!!!! soon the temp gauge starts creeping towrds that dreaded "H" !!!! im just out side of a town... i get going up around 65 and cost it into town and pull into a kroger parking lot (thats a grocery store.. steam is billownig out of the car everywhere !!! me and my friend who helped install it with me are looking everywhere for the leak we cant find it.. i buy a bottle of coolant from tha store we are at.. begin to pour it in and its just gushing out as fast as its going in !! and its from under the Intake plenum !! i just had a problem with my other car doing this and i had to ghetto rig it to fix it !! so im getting very panic-e... call my dad to come to the rescue an pick us up.. but by the time he got there i found the culprit the hose under there thats next to the top heater hose back under the mani has split open!!! so i know i can fix it, but its like 10:30 the autozone down the strip isnt open.. im not leaving the car sitting there over night !!! so we try a meijer ( just like Walmart) goto auto motive an by a miricale they have CPR heater hose kits !!! i couldnt believe this they actually had heater hoses in many differant sizes.. i was so relived.. i bought that and more coolant some clamps and went to work in the middle of this parking lot.. had to take off the plenum brace on on the passenger side in order to even get any access to the hose or its clamps!! took us like 3hrs of being out side in very very cold weather to get it fixed... i couldnt feel my hands till just a lil bit ago !!! haha also i had this thugged out black guy come up to us and asked about me selling it, then he starts asking us if we got a pistol for sale or if we can get one !!! he walks off takes a piss then comes back up to us!! he was all fidgety and had his hand under his **** and in his pants tha whole time.. we were kinda getting iffy about this character !! think he had somthin planned, thank god ive been around alot of thuggish people in my days an know how to talk to them an kinda make them realize im not the one !! hahaha !! but when he comes back he starts asking me if i know anyone who can get a vest !! i was taken back a lil, but i snapped at him man "you know howmuch vest go for man, i doubt you can aford one" he asks an i explain the goin rate an hes like where can i find one . i tell him hes kinda getts my suttle hints to leave an walks off again !! all this was after midnight... damn what a bad night !!!

Definately. At least you know that's one more part on your car that's brand new and not going to break :)

Sorry about that. But hey, now that you changed the heater hoses, you know they will be good for a long while. Damn, even clamps too!!!

Thanks for this story. It encourages me to get new heater hoses and to stay away from thugs who want to buy vests and guns.

ROFL! Classic! Thankfully i don't have to deal with thuggish people. Me and my brother hang out a lot, he's a 6 foot 2 inch 250 pound linebacker with shoulder lenght braids. He tends to ward off most thugs. And he's just a highschool freshman.
