Two stories from my days as a mechanic in a college town.

A guy was driving his newish TR-7 through Ohio from somewhere down south without anti-freeze in the cooling system. He stopped as he was passing through because his engine was overheating. The radiator was frozen solid and not circulating any water. If he had stopped and let the engine cool it would have frozen too. He dodged a bullet by coming straight to the shop.

A kid drove into town in a beat to he11 Ford Maverick and the brakes weren't working. He had been putting water in the master cylinder and it froze when he got into cold weather. Makes me wonder how many morons out there had water in their brake system that didn't freeze.
