My first vent about the s2k.
Barely got it home, and 5 hours late at that.
Long story short, Either a head gasket or intake gasket is bad causing coolant to leak into the middle 2 cylinders. Runs GREAT when its running, otherwise it appears that when it is shut off, the coolant pools up making it damn near impossible to started without removing the plugs and cycling the engine to get the coolant out.
I know, this is horrible for the motor. Rebuild may be in it's soon future.

I had set aside $350 on the kitchen counter under a coaster for winter tires and now I can't find it!!!! Aaaahhhhh. No one has been in the house since I put it there except for my sister and all she did was sleep on the couch. Sonia said she never touched it. And she knew what the money was for so she had no reason to touch it. I don't recall ever picking it up to put somewhere else or anything! Aaahhh I need that money!!!!

This seems to be consistent w/German cars (I'm speaking from experience)
