I don't really "drive normally." But I'm not an idiot. I don't dog my car.

Not sure what WOT is... is that 'wear over time?'

I found out yesterday my radiator is now filled up with rust colored stuff. Time for a new radiator? This did happen 5 months ago. The only driving since then has been the 1000mi. trip from TN to Fayetteville, NC and maybe 50mi. around town.

Lost the bid on a truck I was wanting, so my monies free for my precious again!

I'll check that vac leak idea tomorrow, I've been working like a dog since I had to take a week off to have a wisdom tooth surgically removed!

I bet that might be it though... I had to replace spark plug wires that crumbled in hand and the coolant rubber pipes were all the same. Any other things I might want to check for rotting?
