In those days of frequent boiling over of radiators, I did not know of anyone who wasted the water on drinking - it was too important to refill the steaming radiator.

You're my Man, Doug,
Those bags saved MANY lives! Like, when Old Highway 66 went through Oatman, Aridzona, BARREN desert mountains, with switchbacks that were LOW & SECOND gears, both UP & DOWN!! Water cost 10 cents a glass & 25 cents to fill a radiator! WILD Donkeys still roam the streets & LOTS of OLD movies were filmed there! OOOOLD wrecked cars STILL reside in the CANYONS
Google Oatman, Arizona & you'll be AMAZED! Some people chose the shorter bags, so they wouldn't DRAG, when hangin' on the bumper guards.
I'd like to have 2 bags, BUT NOT for $106.00
