I dunno I just remember people here lauded about it.
My cars engine randomly got hot the other day. I felt the power become sluggish and then looked and my temp needle was 3/4 of the way up.
It hasn't done it again but we recently changed the radiator and that thermometer thing? So it shouldn't be those.

Another thing to add, why do my front tires on both side look like this?
At first I was thinking I may have brushed up against a curb or something but then I realized, that my drivers side tire never gets close to curbs like the passenger so its probably not that.
Just curious as to what it is.

If I had the money, I'd be glad to give it a home - http://www.carbuzz.com/news/2013/8/1...Buyer-7715742/
Something like this doesn’t come around often, and wealthy collectors everywhere are sure to be interested. Set to hit the auction block this weekend at Monterey is this, a 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Roadster. Just six examples were built, and this particular one is number 0003. In fact, a dealer tried to sell this exact car on eBay last April to no avail. The German automaker built just 20 examples of the coupe variant, so any time a roadster pops up is cause for celebration. Only thing is, this one just can't find a buyer.

so now my car's engine temp will start rising if i'm stuck in traffic with the A/C on. So cant really use that anymore.
And to top it off... the check engine light came on. So I need to see if autozone can check it. I forgot, but I think I saw somewhere that autozones in california dont do that. I hope they do. Cause the dealer will probably charge me $100 to see it, unless i get the problem fixed from them as well

Possibly, I trust my family's mechanic though. He's the one that changed the radiator and thermostat for us. I need to check if the fan is working working properly. But other than radiator/fan/fluid is there anything else that can cause this?

But I believe AAMCO does code reads for free, at least the ones I've talked to. Might wanna call around first. Another good suggestion is to go into a parts store that delivers and ask them if they know of any shops that will code read for free. Be careful as some may only be free if you agree to get the repair done by them.

My guess is the fan. Which is why I wonder about that thermostat. I don't know if the Acura uses an electric fan or a fan clutch either.

Yes, the pictures are basically an advertisement for the options you can have on their version of the car. So, on one side they have the black wheels to show you can get the wheels in black and on the other side they have the silver to show potential customers they can get silver.
