Well, it happened many years ago...my '66 Mustang. It was because of an engine swap, didn't have the Prestone, so I put straight water in. I had this Boss 302 engine in the car, and one nasty day, there it was, the dreaded popped freeze plugs. Ended up putting the 289 back in. It could have been much worse, but more important, could have been avoided, if I only thought.

That taught me a lesson. Since then, I've been keeping my cars very warm all winter.
