A week and a hose, thermostat, water pump, alternator (how the hell the alternator came into play here is beyond me but it did), and one belt later - I think - hope - pray the last domino has fallen, at least for the time being. The upside - almost everything under the hood is less than a year old so the mechanical stuff is pretty much done (except for replacing the air conditioner) - which means I can finally get started on the cosmetic stuff.
