My car is a DD/DE car, 07 with 46,xxx miles. Due to a busy year, I have not been to the track in over a year. I was driving home from work after a long day (30mph) and sure enough dumped all my coolant very quickly. I saw the light and immediately got off the road, by the time a check the reservoir it had maybe 1/10 of the fluid left. The can is now on a flatbed to Champion. The ironic part is I was planning to take the car in to get some other warranty work done (RMS among others)

Will update what they find.

Kind of scary at this point, this is bordering on becoming an endemic and dangerous problem. At least with the RMS leak the biggest problem is cleaning the garage floor and adding a little oil from time to time. I was hoping this would be a car for a lifetime to pass on to (or share with) the boys when they are old. Will see.
