yeah, it really stinks, but got the tire taken care of today(thanks Cory) and made it down to NC. no problems with the car at all. it survived 45 mins of stop and go traffic in 90+ degree heat(highest coolant temp was 196 during stop and go) and saw it as low as 176 while cruising.
cruised with the windows down and radio on. never heard the pump running over the radio or exhaust unless you are sitting still.
:lol: Cory is good for something I guess.
