Tfw you figure out the reason you've been getting headaches and have a gnarly cough is because of a cracked oil filter housing in your vehicle. Going back to the first time I had to fill my coolant reservoir, and not knowing why, it was around this time last year. Then back in October or so, I discovered a leak and after some research deduced that it was the oil filter housing, which is a known issue from using plastic where the housing meets the manifold. I had to wait until after the holidays to spend the money on the repairs, and I finally got it done by my friend for cheap. The dam thing is sandwiched between the upper and lower intake manifolds, so you have to take the entire top of the motor off to get to it.
I had been breathing in a mixture of both motor oil and engine coolant for almost a year. Not good. It's only been a few days and I'm already feeling like things are clearing up in my lungs, nose, and throat. The job was done in a few hours and I drove very slowly and baby'ed it for a couple days to give the new gaskets some time to seal properly. Then, when I felt it was ok to give it some gas and drive like normal it wouldn't go over 50 without jittering and feeling like it needed an alignment really bad, which it didn't. So, after a few angry calls to my buddy, and then taking it back to his garage, we decided the ABS system was acting up because he never reset the sensors. This thing is basically one huge computer so it just needed to reboot. I disconnected the positive cable and went and messed around, then came back about 40 minutes later, reconnected it and voila. I know I warped those rotors before I figured it all out too, which sucks because those were brand spanking new. The left side was glowing red at one point though, and that's where it all clicked. I still have a thin layer of coolant and oil on the inside of my windshield I need to clean off. What a cluster ****.

I drive with the windows down in all weather unless my AC works and it doesn’t and won’t.

The vapor from all that hitting the hot engine block runs right through the vehicles blower and into the cabin. Even with the windows down you're still breathing it. Not as much though.
Besides, it's 20 degrees right now. Windows are staying up. Thank you very much.

Our windchill hit that this morning so there
The cops will pull you over if your windows are down when it’s too cold though because that’s a drug thing

That feeling when you dunk a tough cookie in coffee.
