    Thumbs up My commute will be a bit less stressful now

    On my 250 mile biweekly commute, whenever I hit traffic I have about 5 minutes to get back up to highway speeds before my car overheats.

    But I installed a new low temp thermostat and my car doesn't need to be going 80mph to properly cool itself now

    The only bad part was it took hours to do a simple job, because the bolt head sheared off when taking the old thermostat off

    No, I waited this long to bother caring about it at all. But I wasn't doing anything this weekend, and its getting hotter outside, so I bought a thermostat to see if it solved the problem

    Nah, whenever I get a flat I always repair the tire myself. I do however keep my spare tire on the rear deck, since you have uninflate it to fit it back into the compartment Did I mention the spare has a wider diameter tire that the regular four?

    My dad wants me to sell it though and was hinting that he'd buy me something newer
