Running without water

Thought this might get your attention. What I mean is that it's been
about 2 weeks since I installed the mechanical gauge and have been
driving the car on weeknights and weekends. I've put about 200 miles on
it without any coolant loss. It's time to let go of the emergency water
bottle I always carry in my trunk, well maybe I'll wait a little longer.

I finally adjusted the new Spax shocks I installed when I replaced all
the front end components. I have both front and back set to the hardest
setting. The front feels fine but the back is too hard. I think I'm
going to back off a couple ajustments on the rear and see how it feels.
One thing for sure, adjusting the shocks helped the bouncing around it
was doing everytime I hit a bump in the road. Now the car tracks without
having to overcorrect for the massive change in suspension geometry.
