hah, thanks.

There was a bit of a rattling sound i could hear at idle, but i did not know how serious it was, or if it was even a bad sound; considering i had purchased the car used.

The rattling sound was coming from (excuse my lack of proper terminology) the big bolt coming out of the supercharger that spins the pulley. Evidently it was on the brink of failure from being loose or bent or something.

I had pulled out of a gas station and was on my way to work, gunned it, and suddenly a horrible sound happened and there were gallons of coolant spewing onto my engine, creating quite a scene for passerbys.

The failure was so catastrophic that pieces of metal shot up through the padding in the hood, nicked the underside of the hood, cut pretty much any hose in the area, and put a nice sawblade cut right in the front of the engine cover. The engine was still running but i obviously pulled over and turned it off immediately.

oh and i forgot two other things that are wrong: the AC is not blowing cold and one of the sub woofers is blown (i think).

I have a substantial amount of work to do on the car, i hope there are guides for everything!.. was just skimming the CAI relevant posts, i want a cold air intake but i refuse to shell out the big bucks for the need wings.. 250$ area seems more reasonable for a 3" pipe with a filter on the end.
