1986 BUICK SKYLARK User Comment / Complaint

I am a college student. i commute about 50 miles to school and back. i was in brick nj on rt 70 about to enter the parkway when i saw smoke coming out of my hood. before this happened i was using gallons of coolant in my car. i pulled over and got out and opened my hood so the car could cool. it was then drive able to the nearest mechanic where he replaced my intake gasket. during the duration of this day event i had to miss 1 class and had to ask my father to drive me so i wouldnt miss my other two exams for the day. the intake cost me 527.35.
