Radiator

My wife called me yesterday to let me know the car started spewing "smoke" (steam), and when she popped the bonnet there was coolant everywhere.

Damn.

She got a ride home from a friend, but our car is still ~50 miles away from here. I'm about to head out with a friend of mine to assess the damage. My wife described the radiator as having a crack down the side/seam. A new radiator will cost ~$150 shipped, and I might even be able to get that price for overnight/2nd day.

The cleanup will be a pain. There was evidently enough coolant in the engine compartment to short something, so the battery is allegedly dead, as well. Wish me luck!

P.S. - Soon I will be posting a list of my "starting tools" and modify that list every time I'm able/forced to to add something to my toolkit.
