Hey y'all. I have a '90 Integra that gets driven occasionally. Last
time it was in for an oil change, they told me the coolant hoses are
brittle and ought to be replaced.

Now I do plan to get this done, but maybe not right away 'cos it's
pretty expensive. Is there any danger to the car (or the people
inside) if the hoses happen to fail while I'm driving? I mean, if it
were a timing belt problem you might have some serious engine damage,
plus it's not so good to stop going if you're on the freeway or
something. But with this, I was thinking I'd see the temp go up and
hopefully have some time and be able to pull it over. Am I wrong?

Thanks.
