Drove it this morning to Oakland (yep, I took it to the hoody part as well) Parked it on the street, and I was pretty sure something was gonna get vandalized, perhaps someone might end up stealing my wheels.. Then my friend pulls up and parks his Aston Martin right around the corner and I suddenly don't care anymore..
I got back home a few hours later, everything on the car is fine, and I look in the garage a few hours later and my wagon has pissed out like 1/2 of its coolant! I pop the hood, the bleeder screw was broken, and it F'd up my expansion tank because the screw broke off in the expansion tank![]()

i really need to wash my car, it's covered in water spots from recent rain, and the wheels are grimed up, but it's just sooo hot outside, and we're supposed to get more showers in the next day or so. bah.
and i'm still pissed about the long scratch on the side of my car. not sure that can be fixed without a $$$ paint correction.
also i have a giant pull to the left, that was diagnosed months ago as tire wear, but i'm not sure that i buy that tire wear alone could cause such a pull. might be something in the suspension, and i've also contemplated that maybe the steering wheel is one click off center from having been removed when i had water damage a few months ago. haven't disassembled fully to inspect tho.
other than the pull, she's driving like a champ and i love every second. will need brakes soon enough tho, i can tell they're starting to wear thin.

Wait.. Maybe I dont need a new expansion tank.. Isnt the bleeder screw a part of the upper radiator hose? Maybe I can just get a new upper rad hose and expansion tank cap..
