Not really a question, I'm just relaying an experience. My Supra has been sitting while I get it ready for paint. I replaced fenders, doing some body work, etc. So I figure I'll take it for a small run even though its really ugly right now. I put the taillights and turn signal lights back on and take it up the road with my 9 year old son and my 7 year old niece. I went a couple miles, turned around, and got on it some; then all of a sudden I'm blowing a ton of smoke. Like a crop duster!! So I limp home, start looking, and find I blew the little 90 degree short hose from behind the water pump to the block, under the distributor and it was spewing coolant all over the exhaust manifold (and everywhere else). Anyway, fortunately Autozone had a hose the same size. If you ever have to replace this hose, be advised, it is much easier if you remove the distributor! Anyway, just felt like sharing since in the 16 months I've had the car, its the first "malfunction" I've had, and I'm relieved it was so minor!
