In addition to this blog, the Jetta, for which it is so named, has been in a state of disrepair. As the summer has climbed higher and higher into record temperatures, the temperature of my engine has also climbed above its normal, seasonal levels. This has resulted in a momentary shutdown (arh) of all jetta usage and has relegated all motor-vehicular transportation to other apparatus. I realize the rather large amounts of shame that go along with bumming rides and using your parents gas, but these are trying times. Damn trying, some might say.
With the Jetta down, but not out, I've decided to attempt to repair her myself. I've conferred with some mechanical minds and their prognostications give me both hope and confidence that the Jetta can be both restored and reinstituted. All I have to do is change the thermostat.
Before we go any further with this post, I must assure all 6 of you who still read this that "I ain't got time for" global warming or any other theories about why my car has been driven to exhaustion. I also ain't got time for workin' out in 113 degree heat either.
Anyway, while at work today, I listened to various channels on Sirius Satellite Radio.

This weather is just brutal.
It could be a thermostat, it could be a "clogged" radiator. Those would both cause overheating.
It's been hot here, too. And my poor old saturn has had equally high record temperatures. mine, fortunately, was only because the pressure cap for the coolant was slowly leeking. Who knew?
It is definitely time for "a nice warm cup." lol!
