It might go cold again tomorrow night, but last night was about as cold as it's going to get (7 degress F). I'll still try to get some kind of heater underneath the car today and check the freeze plugs.

Not happy about the potential for needing to do the timing belt, but I do remember that there was s sticker on the belt cover saying that it's about the right mileage to change it.. We had the belt changed on our 85 by a garage.. They messed up something with the tensioners and the belt was starting to work it's way forward, and eventually it wore a hole into the cover and as a result about 1/3 of the belt is now gone, but it still runs.. i assume they didn't know what they were doing.

Ugh.. replacing heater cores.. how hard is that?
