        The wax is heated by the hot coolant and expands, thus opening the thermostat!

            That is completely false lol.

            But since Falco was mentioned: Falco is the only German singer to reach #1 on US charts.

                            Nicolas Cage (born Nicolas Kim Coppola) is the nephew of director Francis Ford Coppola and actress Talia Shire, and the cousin of directors Roman Coppola and Sofia Coppola, film producer Gian-Carlo Coppola, and actors Robert Carmine and Jason Schwartzman.

                            I didn't know that until a couple years ago, found it interesting. Iirc, he didn't want to be tied to the family by his last name because people would think his uncle got him the roles/fame.

                              If you drive your e30 on stairs, you're gonna have a bad time.
