Actually, Its Freezing

After two days of intensive study, our mechanic has finally determined that the problem with the Galant is a defective heat actuator. Which means that while it is piping hot under the hood, the mechanism for pumping that heat from the engine to the interior has gone kaput.

My car is freezing.

Unfortunately, it will take 5 days for the part to get in, so I have to drive it for at least another few days under the risk of hypothermia. Weather forecast for the next five days? Highs in the 30s or low 40s, lows in the 20s, chance of snow on two of the next three days.

Come on, Indian summer, throw me a bone here.
