well now,
i finally got my new map sensor from the mechanic (when he opened the hood and put it in i almost fell over it was so simple
) but on the way up there my car decided to run a little hot. no prob i though these things prolly run warm on long road trips anyway right - wrong, after telling him the prob he said i might need a new coolant cap and that i should upgrade to an electric fan. so its not to bad right - wrong after i got back i rested for a while and then decided to get somthing to eat w a friend. we head out in my car b/c its cool and i catch a wheel going to second kewlness right - wrong as soon as we hit the next stop sign the low coolant buzzer came on 
(luckly enough we were right next to arbys) so i pulled in and shut her off. come to find out that i had a leaking coolant hose and pushing the engine made it worse so now my car needs a new hose and it is at arbys
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, get a new hose. It can't be much more than $10-$15, and if you're good it should take you about 10 min. to replace. Then I'd drive to the auto parts store, and buy all new hoses (except for the one you replaced), and put them on too. Rotaries don't like heat.

It's not the cheese that bothers me, but the fake meat that looks like some kind of compressed meat(SPAM?). Ever notice the green tint of the meat when you look at it a certian way?
Oh well, the curly fries and the BBQ sauce are good.
