Dec 12 2012

Drove to work for 3 days in louisville with cold starts on the weekend with city driving. Got down to 10 degreeson my way to work and the car ran low on coolant. I think my mixture had too much water. Ended up stopping at Napa by York st and adding it slowly as the engine cooled. Car seems ok but mileage way way down because of the temps. Drove almost this whole tank with new front hub/bearing.
