Message	I'm finding it hard to beleive that there was no coolant in the car escpecially when I drove the car earlier that day out of town with no problems. Then take it for a short ride around town and boom. Also whats was all the coolant that went all over the engine bay and window??? Something let loose on that ride it would have over heated during the first ride or there would have been a puddle of coolant in front fo my house. Also what would have made me have to boost to keep moving?? My 1990 TT Stage V+
