Well, I have a flashlight in the car, a few bottles of Pentosin coolant at
home, but non in the car.  I could pick up some distilled H2O from CVS to "top
off", then add the Pentosin when I get home.

I did get the "no more coolant" warning, but I have been getting that the last
few days, and wrote it off as a bad MTFS sensor, as I was also not getting
full boost (1.4-1.5bar) and the temp sensor was flakey at best (no reading, 
to very high reading, etc.).

<sigh>

Calling the shope again, they were supposed to call to see if they could take
 it today, otherwise need to get the car home.
