True statement... The process as I understand it is evaporative (or distilling). Upon the removal of all H2O, the remaining ethylene glycol and other wonderful semi-stable carcinogens are somehow reused (e.g. filtered and used as new anti-freeze). Did you know that ethylene glycol is also used as an emulsifier in ice-cream?? Yummy! It's what keeps it blended and OH-SO creamy

Just the lame excuse I'm talking about. With that reasoning, why wouldn't we just dump everything down the drain right? Paint, oil, old gasoline. As long as you feel good about yourself do whatever you want. I always think of Karma. The guy who parks his truck covering two, or three parking spaces cuz his truck is "special" deserves to have his paint job keyed. If that person is worried about door dings, they should park farther away where theres no cars and walk. It just boils down to LAZY!! Same thing with the coolant. Recycling is FREE. Be honest and just admit you're too friggin LAZY.
Have a real nice day!

The best way to teach is with calm words that speak the truth, not a bunch of retaliatory rhetoric. Please keep in mind the THOUSANDS of eye's that will potentially read what you write. This stuff can come back to haunt you. So IMHO, forthright, calm and INTELLIGENT is the bast way to go. No need to join in on the bashing.

Oh, after reading some of your other posts, I see that this is just you style...

Sorry, you got the wrong idea about me there. Did I say that I stoop to keying cars? I didn't and I don't. Sorry you missed the point.

No, my brother, I got the point. But he end does not justify the means. Written language in this forum is permanent after the 10 minutes of "editing window of opportunity" passes. My point was that, and that we (all of us) sometimes write things that we later wish we had not.

Not too sure why I'm being hounded by anyone in the forum (not mentioning names on purpose). I didn't say anything that I regret. Please recycle your used auto liquids.

P.S. When I see "JC" in writing I believe the person is referring to Jesus Christ. If HE were able to enjoy the thrill of driving an automobile, I'm sure HE would have also been environmentally responsible.

P.S.S No response necessary!
