I feel like sh*t today.

I'm hung over, pissed off about my ex (wtf is new) and MY G*D DAMN HEATER CORE IS LEAKING!!!!!

There's a big fuggin' puddle underneath my car.. guess I know where that sweet smell was coming from, and why my window is all fogged up with coolant mess.. and why my car is humid at times. What a POS.

I don't suppose anyone has a slightly used LT1 era heater core I could grab off of you? I guess I'll have to buy a new one, at least I get that sh*t at wholesale.

And to boot I'm so pissed about my ex right now, and I don't even freakin' know why. And I'm hungover, as I have been for the past two weeks. Sh*t doesn't seem to matter anymore. I'm out of booze at the moment though so I think I'll be sober for dyno day though

Guess I'd better go get the TA on the rack and see if it might just be a hose or something that I can fix easily.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking I'm going to do, I don't really have the time and money to mess with it.

It's not leaking onto my passenger floorboards yet, thank ***, so I think i caught it just in time.

I think it was caused by the massive exhaust leak I have right there where the exhaust goes into the manifold. Scraped the bottom of the car on something and it tweaked it.

I think the heat from the exhaust warped the core in some way that it started leaking.

Sorry about all of the issues going on Tony, I am sure it will all work out though in the end. When my heater core went out it pissed all over my passenger carpet, and then I was without a heater a whole winter, it sucked. Now it's replaced and all good, but it was a b*tch to replace.

Things always have a funny way of doing that so don't fret bro, keep your head up!

Things could be worse, you could have a Camaro with no motor or trans

...sigh...
