Stupid blown head gasket again. I really thought I had it sealed up right the first time. This little journey, the second time around, has cost something like $1500 (granted that's with a new clutch and a few other goodies added to the list), and 2 weeks without the car (which is the part that really hurts).

Worst part is, I can't even work on it again till friday. The car is in a garage in merritt island and I'm in orlando (50 miles away, with school/work preventing me from making the trip).

Just venting my 7m owners angst. So to anyone reading out there, just get the head and block machined the first time. It sucks to do things twice.
