I used 'Copper Kote' on my $500 Toyota pu I fixed last year, which had a
blown head gasket. Runs well now, though now I'm up to $1100 on the
truck, including a reupholstered seat. Great for carrying shit (horse
manure) and other stuff I don't want to put in the MB.
Just got back from a 1000mile trip up to NoCal and back, in my MB.
Yosemite has no snow, very weird; the back woods of Napa and Sonoma were
nice, though I hope I didn't bugger up the alignment on those bumpy
roads. Some friends up there have a 240D, so I parked right beside it,
so the cars could chat, while we hiked through the redwoods
I'll figure the MPGs later. The car ran great.
