Total with tax $275. For a thermostat!!! Had one go bad in my '48. $12 total. Hmmmm!
My '48 is 70 years old. Wonder if any of these late model wonders will be on the road in 2089.

You can go to auto parts stores like Auto Zone or O'Reilly's and have that "Check Engine" light checked for free. Then pick up a thermostat and coolant, go home and change it for $20-$30.
