My Trip

[MyBrother]

If any you have been following my questions I was asking in the NC sub forum, I was picking up a 2007 NC from my brother in Portland OR. It had 23000 miles and original tires. He had the car serviced and check out and I got new tires and was on my way.

200 miles into the trip back to St Louis the check engine light comes on. The car ran fine but I was concern obviously. I stopped at a Dealer in Boise Id, and was told it was a thermostat failure. Offered to look at it the next day but said the cost might be approx $800. I made a decision to just keep on going and if I overheated so be it.

Made it back to St Louis approx 2000 mikes with no further issues. I took it to the dealer here and they said said about $300. The trip back was fun but didn't see much scenery, cause I was checking the temperature gauge every 5 minutes. Was a fun ride thru the rockies, but I was glad to get back home.

Look forward to many more drives and it's a fun car.
