When i was a kid we didn't have all this fancy food. All we had was dirt,

We didn't have air either, we had to hold out breath all the time.

That was funny Paul but Jeff was really only suggesting that plain water
would have worked fine to get home on as an emergency measure. :)

I've also heard that leaving the radiator cap slightly off will cut down
on leaks since the system can't build any pressure. That being said, without
pressure the fluid will boil faster. :/
