Our Engine Project

My car has been operating at reduced capacity for a couple days, I am pretty sure the turbo had stopped boosting my power so I was limping along into work.  I started looking for a new car with limited urgency.

On May 13th I took it into Mauer for a diagnostic appointment ($234 dollars), to be informed a needed a new engine, radiator, and turbo.  The next day I drove into work and when I left it was blowing white smoke.

On the 8th the pope was elected, and on the 14th the sonic wanted to get in on the fun and elect a pope as well.  On the 15th I was able to find a new car a Toyota Corolla.

Since I wasn't going to spend 15k on the sonic for a new engine.  Nick and I thought we could take a crack at replacing the head gasket...
