Can I mix coolant with tap water ("town" water, not well)? I see so much contradictory sh*t online and don't know what to believe.

You can use distilled water; the kind you get in a gallon jug. Don't use tap water, the impurities will promote degradation in your cooling system. This is what we use in race cars so we don't drop slippery coolant on track.

Be careful in winter, though. Your coolant has anti-freeze. Pure water will freeze and possibly expand and damage the water jacket in your engine block.

X2 on distilled. Unless you're in a pinch. And make sure you mix it to as close to 50/50 as you can

Don't you run a jeep? Pretty sure creek water is acceptable for them.

Yep. I'll just swing my the creek behind myself and fill up a jug.

The SAS/Long Range Desert Group would piss in their jeeps and Chevrolet 30 cwt trucks' radiators. :lol:

Sold my miata less than 24 hrs after listing it. Listed it on Craigslist yesterday around 2 and was at the notary doing paperwork by noon.

And as quick as its sold, I might be buying a RHD Kei car. Trying to get an inspection report before I make an offer.

I've seen that some state's are canceling registration of some Kei cars. What are looking at?

Got a lukewarm deal on a used 2018 expedition max limited. Still can't believe I'm contemplating dropping $40k on a vehicle even after having a trade in, but it'll make our lives, and upcoming travel plans in the next year or two, a lot more simple. It's a lot more than we need, but it'll be very nice to have.

Can always sell the house and live in the camper full time i guess.

That is sweet. Is it real?

This thing is pretty big. And I even drive a 3/4 ton truck. Far as I can tell, if I upgrade to a weight distribution hitch, I can tow my camper with it too. That may come in handy.

We have several trips planned and desired in the next 2 or 3 years. So with baby 2 on the way it will be nice to still be able to take my parents with us and be more than comfortable.

A similar SUV rents for $1800.. A week!
