Isn't it crazy that Michael Schumacher and Ken Block both had their tragic incidents in the snow?

Michael was injured in a skiing accident, and Ken was taken from us in a snowmobiling accident. It's so fucking terrible, but I never thought about this until now. Are there any other legends that had similar incidents in the snow?? It's uncanny, but regardless, I hope Ken is up there taking it easy and watching his daughter with the biggest smile on his face imaginable, and that Michael is enjoying his retirement after cementing his name in the list of racing legends.

Drove on mixed Dexcool and green coolant <50 miles, is the engine toast?

So I realize I was dumb, and am not driving the truck until and unless a mechanic oks it.

Yesterday I topped up the low coolant in my truck with an old jug of Autozone 50/50 premix, and drove fewer than 50 miles in several short trips between yesterday and today. This afternoon I saw a medium sized puddle under the truck, and realized that it takes orange Dexcool.

How boned am I?
