***Good point, thanks Larry!  I've been using just Water Wetter and
distilled water in both of my cars for a while now (over four years).  I do
have some antifreeze on hand just in case it actually gets cold enough to
need it, but it's been a LONG time since it's been cold enough to do so.  If
your car is in a garage or even under a car port, it'll take some awfully
cold temps, sustained for many hours, to freeze the block.  At least, that's
what I've been doing.  But that's just what I do . . . doesn't mean I'd
necessarily recommend it to others.  I have a friend that uses 50-50!  In
the part of California that I live (Sacramento area), that's just overkill.
But the owner of that car is stubborn, so I don't bother trying to change
their mind.  ;)  What do you think, Larry?  Am I being foolish with my
methods about antifreeze?
