you go 200mph over the desert for miles and miles and the car cant get you to LA???? WHAT!?????? Bummmer!!!
I left at 6:15 from the East Bay, got to Kettleman City by 11:30 when I found that the car was leaking coolant. Talked to Bill then headed south. Signs on 5 South said the Grapevine was closed and detour to 101. So Waze (the app) took me down 5 to 43 South, then 119 West, and 33 South to 166. All was good until I got to Maricopa and hit all the traffic coming in from 5 on 166. Gridlock, not good for a car with a coolant leak. After 45 minutes of stop and go a little then stop traffic, I had to call it quits and headed home.

Looks like the hole in the radiator was in front of the supercharger, about a third of the way down the radiator.
Had enough coolant to keep the water temps between 180-190 degrees while moving, but it got hot fast as soon as I stopped. The oil temps also stayed in the 180-190 degree range.
