Small Coolant Hose

The lesson here is obvious. Go to Wendys instead.

Has anyone else had this problem?

About July 2 (or 3?) of 1994 (or was it '95?) there was a group of 
about 9 Audis convoying across Kansas on our way to the Pike's Peak 
Hill Climb scheduled for July 4.  We wheeled off of I-70 and almost 
directly into an Arby's Restaurant parking lot in Hays, Kansas where 
my '89 200 dropped a load of coolant from the very hose you ask 
about.  One of our group kindly climbed under my car an, after a 
quick run to a hardware store, improvised a quick and dirty roadside 
repair while sitting in the Arby's parking lot.

Exactly one year later in the very same Arby's parking lot in Hays, 
Kansas another group of us had to do the exact same repair to another 
Audi under identical circumstances.  Now what were the odds of that 
happening again?
