well, all seems to be well. came home at 7pm and everything seemes to be thawed out. So i cranked her up, let it get all nice and warm and checked for leaks. Then i took her for a test drive and everything seems to be in good order...... im about to drain all the fluid (since its not really anti-freeze lol) and refill it with a better winter ratio of water to antifreeze. That was close.. whew.
