Default I have a cracked radiator.
Anne Marie (Mrs. Raptor) and I were driving to work on Sunday morning on the 210 with the top down. It was a little nippy, so I turned the heater on. The air came out cold and didn't warm up. Then steam started to pour out from under my hood. I pulled over and saw that there was obviously a radiator problem. Yesterday, Pasadena Honda told me I have a cracked radiator and replacement of it and the thermostat would cost $680.

You should have picked up the Spoon or Mugen thermostat while you were at it. Oh well, you are close to earning the 100+k badge in your sig!!
