Sooo....
Asmodeus blew up this afternoon. Well, not actually blew up, I guess. Lost all the water in the radiator suddenly and without warning. That's more accurate, but less concise. Anyway, he had to be towed to the shop, and I'll have to go round to the shop tomorrow and ask them to take a look. For those of you playing along at home, yes, in fact, he *was* just in the shop, and yes, in fact, they *did* say nothing was wrong with his engine.

*sigh*

You know what the worst part is?
I know more than one joke that centers around the phrase "It looks like you blew a seal".

That's pretty much exactly what started the whole Eclipse Upgrade Project. A one-inch-long crack in a six-inch-long coolant hose == over $5000 in work for now, with another $4-5k to come.

Yeah, my threshold for junking the car is about $800 -- once we hit that, I'll be in the territory of "With what I've spent in repairs over the last 2 years, I could almost have been making car payments again."

Of course, I think that the Civic is a little cheaper to fix than your Eclipse, and I'm pretty sure that I didn't jack it up further once it blew out. Maybe. 60% sure. We'll see, I guess.
