Ha! I'll keep the pics on topic but she is a keeper. She saw the gauge almost pegged but no light yet, pulled over, shut it down, and video-called me.

Turned out to just be the lower rad. hose clamp that had rusted in half, but the engine's fine. Too bad my in-laws didn't instill as much sense into him as her parents did to her. I did the VC gasket on the Focus while I had it and you coulda ate off the valve train at 193K... and his car has been sitting at my shop for 3 months 'cuz he ran the PS pump dry.
