My 83 Celica has one design feature which I disapprove of, and I figure it must
be a common feature of most new cars;  the dealership parts people look at me
like I'm crazy when I ask about it.  The thermostadt wants to bring the engine
up to running temp FAST, and so stays shut until the engine is on the verge of
overheating (the needle on the temp-guage almost in red), then opens suddenly,
the needle falling back abruptly.  I don't like this at all;  it's like the 
boy in the fairy-tale who cried "WOLF!".  I mean, sooner or later, the engine
is going to really overheat, and the owner, thinking it's just the thermostadt
doing its usual thing, is not going to react fast enough and end up buying
an engine instead of a $30 water pump or whatever.  Does anyone make a 
non-wolf-crying thermostadt for Toyotas?  Is there any serious reason for
not running one of these newer cars WITHOUT the thermostadt?  I would 
appreciate some help with this one.
