God GOD MAN!!! Pull yourself together... Your car is just
temporarily stunned... Like a newly neutered cat, eventually it
will come out from behind the stove and eat (after demonstrating
its gratitude in your shoe). Your TR4 WILL leak again.
If you are in really dire straits (and you sound panicky enough)
allow me to recommend NIGEL SHIFTRIGHT'S BRITISH CAR SIMULATOR
($79.95 available at all fine auto stores). This little device has
been marketed to Miata owners everywhere. It simulates a host of
electric maladies and has a nifty 2 quart reservoir for the fluid
of your choice, which it will deposit on your driveway.
Take a chill pill, Darrell
Technology has, once again come to the rescue.
