[Mgs] Cooling issue

[DON SCOTT]

Now I remember regarding Miatas- early cars had temp gauges that were
accurate.  Later Miatas (from '94 up I think) had temp gauges that were
fake, always showed N unless serious overheating was taking place. 
Owners of newer cars will convert to accurate temp gauges, but it's a 
big project to do it.  My Miata is a '91 but the gauge does stay at N
anyway.

All this cooling talk..... Modern cars lie with their gauges. They 
are not showing real temps, not even relative temps, they are just 
showing  N unless there's a problem, then they show H, and likely the 
check engine light appears. Very digital in operation. And H to a 
modern car is very H in an LBC.... 240 or so. Modern cars would have 
many, many emergency phone calls about overheating  if you actually 
saw the temp, so they don't show it.

Lord, I pray my brakes are twice as good as the guy in front of me....
.. and half as good as the guy behind.
