make sure to check your coolant level

my car has overheated on occasion for apparently no reason... ended up always seeming to be low on coolant (not sure where it's going but it's gone).

I changed the thermostat and also added some coolant. Th problem went away. I hav't been checking the coolant for awhile. looks like i better check it every weekend.
