Put a new radiator in, etc dropped 15*. Bought some Potenza S-04's to replace the 760's I had. Then my water pump decided to start leaking.

Well last Tuesday I had to pull over real quick because my fuel rail was leaking. (like it did on my way back from ASS, but significantly worse) Bolt fell out holding one side of the rail and it lifted up, spraying fuel, covering the entire engine bay. Lost 1/8 tank of fuel. Glad nothing ignited. Put new bolts I had on-hand in and aligned the rail properly and tightened.
Yesterday crossed the 250,000 mile mark.

Another new belt, last one i installed after the ac delete it kept squeaking. Fixed now. Belt was free, under warranty.
Installed a new oil sending unit for my oil gauge, last one was going bad, wouldnt read. Kept jumping to 60-80 psi, that also works now.
Back in good shape.

Had to replace my switchback turnsignal bulbs because one of them actually burnt out, literally started smoking in the socket.. I pulled it off and one of the four metal prongs was loose.. Any who, I got the new ones in and installed them yesterday. They were working fine until I was on my way home from work today and noticed the hyper flash on my right turns only.. Both left and right have load resistors installed as well so whats the problem?

I had that happen to me. It turned out either the soder joints on mine weren't holding, or i had the bulb not polarized. It'll still work, but after awhile it'll start smoking and start a hyper-flash.

The last set of bulbs one of them burned out and I got it replaced. The connection is a splice cap, no solder needed. So it can't be that..

I helped Sleepy repair his ghetto ass aftermarket sunroof where the frame snapped.
I actually hand washed my alero for the second time yesterday.
