About

I brought this car in June of 04 and I loved it the moment I saw it.The day I drove it home from the dealer I was so scared cause it was my first rear wheel drive V8. For the first week I was doing a lot of cruising and some qtr mile runs until one day I went to get some gas and noticed the engine temperature started to creep up so I shut it off and gave it some time to cool down then went to pay for the gas. About time I got out I saw antifreeze on the ground...me being a newbie I didn't think to much about it other then it being too much coolant in the system. So as I pulled away (like a dummy!) the temp went up! I drove as quick as I could to get back home and before I did the cars power was steadily dropping and I was like oh sh8t! When I got it to my driveway it overheated. The result cracked heads and blown headgasket then eventually spun rod bearings.
