That moment a freeze plug let go on I-5 south of Olympia
I was hauling a load of produce down I-5 about 15 miles south of Olympia when the temp gauge started climbing fast. Pulled over near a rest area and popped the hood to find coolant spraying out from a freeze plug that had corroded through. Had no spare plug that size in my toolbox, just a random assortment of bolts and washers. Ended up hammering a tapered brass plug from a plumbing kit I found at a gas station into the hole. It held just enough pressure to get me to a proper shop in Centralia where they replaced the whole set. Has anyone else used a sketchy roadside fix that actually worked longer than you expected?

Is a little overheating really that big of a deal?
