After I read this again, it looked confusing (and I'm the dope who 
wrote it!).  The red lite that is supposed to flash if overheating is 
occuring is in the water temp gauge.  The way I wrote it, it looks 
like I'm saying it's in the oil temp gauge.  You can tell if your 
water temp warning lite is working by observing it when you start 
your car.  It'll flash momentarily when you start the engine as a 
test.  If you can't see it, you may want to fix it.

Oh yeah, I was also qouted $189 for a Techtronics exhaust from the 
cat back.  How does this price stack up?  And is this a fairly loud 
muffler?  I don't want it too loud....it's already quite throaty.  
The previous owner had Midas put on the one that's on there (I found 
the reciept).  Just wondering........
