I have a hole, bigger than my fist, in my radiator. Car over heated and I kept on driving like a dumb ass (though, I knew that when I was driving it). Going to see if I can borrow my mom's camera tomorrow so I can take a pic. I want to use the pic as my desktop background, to remind myself what happens when I do something so f***ing stupid. I'd also like to thank Doctor H for letting me borrow his car so I could get home (and all the help he'll be giving me tomorrow  ) |

I'll post a pic tomorrow (when it's light out enough for me to take a pic); of what I believe caused my radiator to be shredded. For now I'll just say it's something that shouldn't have been in my engine bay (or anywhere near my car). But thanks to Doctor H for helping me out, the car seems to be fine now. Just have to check the over flow tank tomorrow when it's light out, and it'd seem I'm good to go. But when he pulled off the coolant hose and nothing but bluish green powder came out, I thought for sure I was done. |

Here are some "nice" pics of the damage: 
And here's what may have done the damage (no, it's not a turd):
I found that piece of metal under the radiator when it was removed; as Doctor H said at the time, it looks like a piece of spring. It's all rusted and there is a black plastic wrapping that is almost completely pealed off. |

The real question is... did he smell it to verify? |
