Do any of you Atlanta-area people know anything about cars? My engine's overheated, my "check engine" light is on, my father is calling me a screw-up on the phone and I'm at my wits' end. I'm sure you'll all be glad to know that Michael is attempting to cheer me up (or at least calm me down) by pouring alcohol down my throat. So, are there any aspiring mechanics out there needing a guinea pig?

Lots of good advice, and being a car whore, I can add some...

Most likely culprits: Coolant issues (cheapest fix)

Bad hose, loose or leaky hose
Water pump dead
*Thermostat is stuck*
Radiator has a hole or leak


hopefully one of those..and even the thermostat would be a cheap fix. All of the things mentioned except for radiator patching could be done by the least of amateur mechanics with basic tools.
