I believe in taking the 'extra steps' necessary to add value and entertainment to my life experience.
Wish I knew just how far I drove in the red...certainly no more than 7-8 because that's closer to how far away I was from home when I discovered the problem. It probably only ran hot 4-5 miles but, that was at highway speed.

When I refilled the cooling system, it was bubbling. Definitely leaking someplace.
