Yeah I should flush this damn thing like 1000 times or something. I would like to do it but last time I tried flushing the cooling system on my old car I ended up overheating the car afterwards so I'm reluctant to do it myself... Things always go south for me when I do things I really don't know how to do properly. But anyway here are some pics of how nasty it is. Looking at this again I'm really beginning to worry if my radiator is rusting...
