cold weather mixing with hot motors... =/

[Squirrley]

blew ALL of my radiator hoses today leaving work, seems i may have a blown head gasket as well.

i must say, i take back about what i said, when i said we needed some good shitty weather..
and i guess you could say i got what was coming. shouldnt have been acting stupid in this weather regardless

Someone didnt have Antifreeze or the right kind...

[Squirrley]

im guessing so?
i honestly have no idea. i flushed my radiator about a month ago and put fresh antifreeze in it which is why im clueless right now..
i ended up down shifting to pass the stupid ass truck that thought it was necessary to do 40 in a 55 and i hit about 65 and boom antifreeze flying out from under the hood and the miata is smoking like a damn freight train

that sucks, good excuse to upgrade the motor while its under the knife

[Squirrley]

thats the plan
im looking for a 99+ miata head if anyone knows where one i can get is,
but so far i pulled the coolant hose off, its blown to shreds, having a power issue now, took my battery out and charging it now, my alternator was already giving me problems too, so maybe it went out at the same time? or coolant getting all over sensors and stuff... i hope thats not the case? i mean could that do that?
and as far as the head gasket goes, i guess i'll find out about that after this god forsaken storm goes away and i can get to the store

Damn that sucks man.

Guess its an excuse to start upgrading stuff.

yeah, it helps to look on the brighter side of things, i guess
