[T3] I miss my Aircooleds in the winter!

[Dennis Stiefel]

Got to work the other morning, steam from the hood.  found the coolant
dumped!
You know how much they salt the roads around here?  The ENGINE block rusted
thru THAT'S HOW MUCH!
Water pissed out faster than I could pour it in!  Took 4 gallons to get home
from work!

Now my poor winter car with its bulletproof 1.8L 8V has a bullethole sized
hole in the block Under the timing belt!  Man I miss the aircooleds. I hate
to mess with coolant!

I stuffed a wad of the best high VOC hoarded RTV I had in there and it seems
to be holding, but I don't dare tighten The radiator cap.  If only I can get
thru the winter. but there is so much winter ahead!

Ya know, I think they filmed the Wizard of Oz in New York state, and that's
what happened to the Tin man, They SALTED the yellow brick road!

Ugh!
