Before I go ahead, let me admit I am a car nut. I own a 1973 Datsun 240Z with a 350 chev and more cutom parts than I care to remember. I only drive her a few times a year and to you it might seem ridiculous to spend so much money for so little use. It is. Even so, totally worth it.

Two nights ago I met up with a few fellow Z enthusiasts. On the way home I must have been a bit out of it because I forgot to turn on my fans (I have switches in the cabin for various things). A few streets away I glanced over, as is habbit for me, at my guages and noticed the water temperature was at 235F which is about 113C which is a touch warm for the car to put it lightly. Had I overlooked the guage the engine would have overheated and blown abd I would have broken down and cried.
