Trying to figure why my coolant tank is leaking
Loaded up the Kiddos and ran some errands with the sunroof open and all the windows down. It's currently 78 according to the thermometer on my back porch, officially 75: http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/USCA1182_f.html
The weather this season is bipolar (freak)

I hate you
The high today is 2F. Tomorrow and Monday's high are expected to be 3F. Wind chills will be in the -20s
My car is also dirty as hell. I'd like to at least drive it through a car wash to get some of this s*** off it, but nooooo, we aren't even getting close to freezing, yet alone above it.

Allright, I guess I have to add some pics of my dirty salty ass car. Do have a new sound coming from my car today. When I turn the wheel all the way left or right from a stop and step on the gas I get some weird squeaky crunchy sound. Doesn't do it if the wheels are straight and I step on the gas though

Sounds like the power stearing pump. Just had to replace my at 67,000 miles
Mine just started making the same noise, but mine only makes the noise when the wheel is turned all the way left or right and I'm on the gas. My guess is low power steering fluid, bad power steering pump and/or something wrong with the power steering belt (too tight or loose for example).Yaggie1 said:
lol wow every1 seems to be talking about weather here lol. haha funny thing is with this global warming thing, in hawaii, around midnight, i think we hit 50degrees farenheit lol.i think its been a while since we had such cold weather lol. i guess 50degrees wouldnt be much for u mainlanders who experience cold weather all the time lol. its weird considering that we usually have around the 80's year round.haha cold weather makes it hard to wake up in the morning heh
threw in a new set of ngk v-powers today. the densos that were in there were completely burnt up. car idles great now, runs a lot smoother too. 
oh yea i also hit a dead cat at 60 goin around a curve. it was dark, the cat was black so i didnt even see it, but i sure as hell heard it. i pulled into a gas station and did a once over for damage, everything looks kosher.

Put in a new battery this past weekend. Car was on the OEM battery and was really struggling to start in the cold weather here in Minnesota.
I bought a Duralast Gold from Autozone for $70. Consumer Reports rated it a best buy. It was -15 the day I decided to do this...not too smart. I didn't realize, until I opened the hood in Autozone's lot with my new battery in hand, that the sway bar totally blocks the battery from overhead. I didn't have my wratchet set with me, but thankfully I was able to borrow Autozone's tools. I finally figured out that if I removed the entire airfilter assembly, I could slide the battery forward from underneath the sway bar. 45 minutes later, the battery was in, my fingers were frozen and Autozone's 10mm socket went sailing into the engine bay. I offered to buy them a new one, but they were cool and wouldn't let me.
The P5 starts hard now and is happy!
