I'm so pissed off
I spent all damn day working on my Jeep only to find out that the problem is beyond my ability to fix. This has been such an incredibly frustrating experience...
It all started when my Jeep over heated on Friday while I was going to work. I cranked up the heater and found a gas station right away. When I opened the hood I found that the coolant was empty. I thought I had neglected to check the fluid levels or something. I filled it up and went on my merry way.
Then on Sunday, I noticed it was really leaking badly while I was running errands. Shit!, I thought. I need a mechanic! But being a Sunday and Labor day weekend there was nothing open. So I figured if anything I could just get new hoses on Monday and do it myself, right? Well I got hoses and clamps and all that crap. I spent all damn day changing the hose (since that is what looked like it was leaking), and guess what? The damn hoses are fine. The radiator is shot. Leaks like a sieve. The whole day wasted, and now I have to take tomorrow off to get it fixed by someone who knows what they are doing... Sigh.
