Weather has turned to gorgeous fall driving time here in the midwest. My favorite time to drive the teener. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Stopped to get gas yesterday, and as I was waiting for it to fill I noticed an odd deflection in the metal at the edge of the passenger side cooling cut out in the wheel well. I think to myself "self, you should keep an eye on that and make sure it doesn't turn into a crack like you've heard about." Then I look and see a similar one on the drivers side (see white circles in picture below). Hmmmm. . . Then I look closer and. . . awwww shiat!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I see pretty bad cracks on BOTH cut outs (see red circles below).
