Default Anyone give me a hand with my car?

I need a hand with my car tonight from someone experienced. My buddy was going to help me out, and he flaked on me. Anyone willing to go to Pendleton's hobby shop and give me a hand? This pisses me off, I was counting on him to help me out so I can go to the cruise tomorrow.

Sorry man, I'm up in LA right now or I'd help you out.

Goodluck and if you need any help in the upcoming weekends I can probably swing by.

long story, but I am not going to mess with it now, since I realized something while I was there working on it. The no talent *** clowns at the Pontiac Dealership in Carlsbad topped off my radiator fluid with the wrong kind (they used the normal stuff instead of the pink stuff, I forget the name right now, someone please remind me, I knew it 30 minutes ago). So now it is rusting in there. Glad I caught it, or I could have a serious problem. They are going to fix it or heads are going to roll.... I will still be at the cruise, but I might take one of you up on it this weekend or week. Thanks though guys.

dexcool is what you are looking for and you can use the green stuff but you have to change it every 15k

Ya no mixing. You can run either but not both. Just do a coolant system flush and refill it with 1/2 dexcool and 1/2 distilled water.
