Yeah. Unless that passenger is someone who could have been your future wife. (1994 Buick LeSabre review "Will ruin your life").

Kind of embarrassing if you were to take somebody out on a date and explain to them that the bucket has dibs to be in the front and not the lovely lady.

No, not at all. You got it all wrong and maybe misunderstood the post that was totaly agreeing with your brillant recommendation of using the bucket, which is why I made the suggestion of using the back seat.

I think it would be a straightforward argument. The bucket has dibs or your feet can soak in antifreeze. That’s really what the options are.

A lot of posters had a hard time believing that review. Full size Buicks from the 90's used one of the best V6 engines ever

Right, except the coolant is coming from a hose where coolant is actually flowing through.

And how would you know where the leak is coming from? That and there are no coolant hoses located inside a dashboard to leak into the car.

It appears the same individual who strongly believes that a hose is the one and only reason on why a vehicle would overheat or leak coolant and managed to get the other Telstar thread locked has slipped through the cracks and is posting the same argument here.

Right, except the hoses that feed the heater core ( inside the dash) are located in the engine compartment and connect to the core fittings at the fire wall (also in the engine compartment) making it impossible for the "antifreeze" to "soak" the passenger floorboard if one of the hoses were to leak.

I'm not going to lock this at the moment, but I think it's best if we don't continue with the same coolant leak argument as the other long Telstar thread.
Please don't try to just move it to another thread either. Any attempt to do that will be treated as deliberate trolling, and will result in comments being deleted.

So you’re suggesting it’s a better idea to have a passenger up front with the antifreeze soaking into the floor carpet up there instead of being collected into a bucket?
