It was all vented out. The video doesn't show the time lag until I popped the hood. There's a 2 minute cut between when I set the cam down and remounted it to the windshield. Notice you don't see the hood pop up. That's because I'd popped it and hopped out and listened for venting then remembered to hop in and clip the camera back up. Trust me, I'm familiar with the whole 'vent cap deciding to fail while your head is in close proximity' thing. I don't want to do that again.

Or, like me, you are in such a blind fury that your only means of getting to work is leaking and overheating again after you replaced the radiator (hooray for EJ25 head gaskets) that you immediately uncork the pressure cap after shutting off the car. I don't think I've ever moved so loving fast in my life and have no idea how I didn't get my hand scalded. The geyser must have been 15ft high and covered the engine bay, roof, and soaked my hair in coolant. The only excuse I have for myself is that the cap was completely cool to the touch and in my rage that meant it was totally safe, never mind the pegged temperature gauge or the steam coming from under the engine. Grabbed the hose next to the gas station I was at, filled it with I've cold water, rinsed out my hair, and kept driving that fucker for 3 more months before the gaskets finally failed entirely.

Real men use propylene glycol coolant, because real men have dogges and cattes they don't want to accidentally kill.

Real men drive air cooled.  Full disclosure: I haven't owned a classic VW for 8 years now so I guess I'm not a real man anymore.

It's only the dogs (and deer and other wildlife) that you have to worry about. Cats don't give a gently caress about it because they have literally zero taste or smell receptors for "sweet".

My experience was trying to slowly uncork an overheated Rover only to have the cheap plastic overflow cap literally disintegrate in my hand. *BOOM* Coolant everywhere. How I remained unscalded I have no clue. I was covered in that sweet tasting poo poo as was my entire car and driveway. It happened in front of my wife and now she's scared shitless any time I open the hood of a warmed up vehicle.

I am a mechanic in a lovely neighborhood. So that means smoking cars all the time, and if it was that bad I am sure we would have heard more about it. I mean I see mechanics all the time with there face in the engine bay as steam or smoke slowly rises. How else are you going to smell it and know what is going on?

Pro mechanics use all their senses, including taste, to identify leaks that aren't immediately obvious. Except for gear oil, never taste gear oil.

Glad I don't work for jiffy lube anymore. Jiffy lube is the place were I got to taste almost every fluid, and each one was worse then the last. Except windshield washer fluid I mean I would never want to drink it but for all the horrible car chemicals I have tasted it was the least gross. ATF has a horrible unique taste I will never forget either.

I don't think anyone sets out to intentionally taste gear oil. It just drips into their mouth right at the moment they open it to ask for another wrench. Cue spitting/coughing/cursing fit for the next 5 minutes.

Deodorant with PG in it gives me a big rash/itches, PG juice will make my throat close up, etc. Oh gently caress me that's what probably happened. Smoked analogs for years and years. Made a cold switch to e-cigs and it went great for like 6 months. Had a nasty head cold for a week and didn't smoke anything. Going back to e-cigs instantly closed my throat. And now that I think about it that's about the same time I noticed my tried and true Old Spice burning the gently caress out of my armpits.  Edit: vvvvv

Control arms in the front probably bent or snapped (if it's an actual STI they're aluminum). The rear would be lateral links. e: He definitely hit a curb. You can see a grate under the right front wheel.
