[urq] Small Coolant Hose

[Todd Phenneger]

I heard about that.
Wasn't it Brendan Rudack that managed to get it on there?
I arrived in Denver for Pikes Peak with a brand new Borla Muffler that had
worked its way loose.  Had to get the car up on a curb to get under it to
tighten it.

OK, STAY Away from that Arby's everyone. :-)
