So... my bf texts me that his car overheated and that he stopped to get more coolant.
Yeah, I know. Engine overheats. Get coolant. Problem fixed, right?
Not so fast. The coolant is in a closed loop system. The necessity for more coolant might indicate a leak. Moreover, there's a min and a max line on the reservoir. If you're not under the min line, I'd say it is unlikely that adding coolant will fix the problem. There can be a host of other issues.
Etc...
During our text conversation, he admitted, "I know nothing of cars."
You know who knows something about cars? Me. I'm no mechanic, but I've run wires in cars, replaced rotors and brake pads, and noticed when mechanics were blowing smoke up my arse.
I told him to call me next time something like this happens. He texted me, but he had already stopped to buy coolant.
Part and parcel of being a Daddy Dom (yes, in the BDSM sense) is to use your wisdom and knowledge to help your partners.
(PS: He drove back home, and it overheated again, so the leak hypothesis is the top one right now. I won't get to see him this weekend. 
)
The purpose of a system is what it does, not what its advocates claim it is supposed to do.
