I finally fixed that last nagging problem with Old Blue: the radiator. It really wasn't that bad of a problem, just annoying. Old Blue never overheated or anything like that, she just leaked coolant. The hole was decent sized, but the temperature never went even close to 200 degrees. Oh well, I got tired of cleaning up the puddles of green liquid on the driveway, and sprung for the new radiator.
She just turned over to 96,000 miles. I'm actually glad that she's almost to 100,000. My odometer only reads five digits, so when the clock finally turns to the big 100, it will read: 00,000. Just like a new car (wink). But for such an old car, it really runs great. I change the oil ever three months, or 3,000 miles. Only Mobil 1, or Valvoline synthetic 5W-30 (10W-30 in the summer), and a really good filter. Clean K&N air filter, and Bosch Platinum +2 or +4 spark plugs and premium wires...I could go on for a while here, but you get the point.
I also a new bra for her a few weeks ago. I haven't put it on until now because of the weather. It's been pretty wet up until a few days ago. Now It's beautiful. I'm off work tomorrow, so I'll try and take a drive and take a few pictures while it's so nice outside. I'll be back soon...
