The risk of carrying it is indeed minor, the odds of needing it vary with
the age of your hoses... but if you need it, you *NEED* it.


According to many sad stories I've read on this very list, the WBX is prone
to head warpage when it overheats. I'd rather carry coolant I don't need,
than wait for (and pay) the AAA guy. Replacing the heads is expensive, and
not my idea of fun!... Just my $.02.


Oh, and since it's Fried-day... whattya mean GREEN!!! :-)
