So my e30 left me stranded.

Pardon my bluntness, but that was pretty fucking stupid.

I've personally seen a guy permanently scar his face via 3rd degree burns by popping the cap off his overflow tank and having it blast in his face.

It's not like i did it really fast and tried to smell it. I released pressure with great caution.

FYI went back early this morning and replaced the tstat. Worked like a charm. The car is still there though - it was a one man operation.

At least you did it slowly, that's good. I was just always taught never to touch that thing until the car has cooled down.

Yeah I know it's dangerous. Releasing the pressure lets it cool down faster though. I made an even more stupid move today though - not going to disclose what though. Good thing i didnt light myself on fire.
