Not as unhappy as Cole's radiator. It was so sad it got up and ran away, never to be seen again.

That is sad! But like Ryan said, at least it didn't run away from home with some crackhead!

You really need to replace the rad for something like that? Just grab a set of needle nose plyers and go at it for a few hours  ;D
