Well most of us dont open the engine compartment everyday i would think 
so even if we had a clear see thru header bottle with a "WARNING DANGER 
GUAGE WITH A BLINKING LIGHT" on it we couldnt see if the coolant was 
low anyway!

When i open my engine compartment i check the coolant level.

My original header bottle was so dirty and stained i had to take off 
the cover to check the coolant level.

Do you check your coolant everyday to think that the stainless bottles 
are dangerous? Some cars made now days you cant even see the coolant 
level, you can only see the coolant cover, are these dangerous too?

People think my cruise control is dangerous too but it hasn't caused me 
any problems yet!
