problem #2

One of the many problems I have had with this car, this one was quite annoying. And when the car died on me for being out of coolant, it locked up while on the highway. I haven't been able to get it fixed yet, so I carry around water in an effort to keep it full. But I leave a stream wherever I park.

because it had cracked on the bottom, no one even knew that it was cracked so three different time I had to replace cracked heads because all of the coolent was running out. The third time the guy got a clue and took it off and looked at it, sure enough, he found a crack about an inch and a half long across the bottom
