Nifty, but I thought the point of coolant/water mix was
to increase the range between the standard freezing/boiling
points for water. Sure, you may not be freezing in SoCal,
but what about boiling? Dunno 'bout you, but it's been
damn *hot* here in Texas for some time, no way that
straight water would've cut it :-).
Have fun,
