i dunno. maybe hoses can wear out, like the metal srands breakin in them? i guess the easiest thing to try if ur worried about it is too get a new hose.

To me it sounds like your cap is not venting properly so when the coolant comes down to ambient temp it compresses and creates a slight vacuum, sucking in your hoses. Warm the car up and slowly open the coolant cap, if the coolant bubbles out you need a new one. That is my best guess. I could be way off. Does not sound like a big problem to me though. I would definitely not spend money to fix it if the car was running fine.

Everything.
People rent car, and just don't give a shit, they beat the hell outta them and then just give it back.
Do that for the first 18,000 to 25,000 miles of a car's life, and you drasticly reduce the life of the car.
A few A-Modders have had Alero which were rentals, it wasn't pretty
