my car is not working AGAIN....GGGRRRR...AAARRGGHHH> it is overheating. have to change the thermostat. i hope that's all it is.do ya think i could get my boys to help? lololololol...hahahahah....jerks!!justin told me yesterday what to fix & how to. it would have been nice if had stayed 15 more minutes to do it for me. jeremy is too busy off with friends to be bothered. went to do it myself but i can't find the wrench i need . why shopuld it be with the other tools? why...i ask? because i need it !!!! if i didn't need it , it would be right there in the tool box! duh!!!!!
i am just so aggravated right now & the heat is not helping any. i went for a refreshing swim after work. that felt great! good thing i can walk to the pool :O)

ok ...thanks...i feel better!! share the cheese and your whine!!!

Oh Pat, I hope it is just the thermostat. Were you able to get it fixed last night? Good luck, keep cool.

thank god the thermastat is an easy one to change.Sounds like you need your own LOCKED took box.I got a good one for tommy at wal mart.It had a bit of everyting in it.$40 here I am sure less in the states.

we need to do our thermastats too.We took the one in the truck right out.Will get a new one before fall.They are about $10.

Good luck with your machanics!!

it's one of the easiest things to fix yourself and thank goodness cheap,too :O) i like it that a car can run without it so i can get to the autopart store.and i found a loose plug for the engine cooling fan. got to get that plugged in. just might help!!

i am not in the mood to play grease monkey. dirty ...dirty job!!!

check out walmart.Tommys set is in a lockable tool box with a drawer, socket set, screwdriver set(interchangeable one) wire strippers, wrenches,allen wrenches,pliers, and i think a hammer too.Can't remember what else.

I bought dh a new drill, and jig saw this year...i use it alot too.

The library has all the chilton car manuals if you need to photo copy anything for your repairs.

good luck, glenda
