My car had the coolant light come on, I was wondering how low it is when it triggers the warning.

Of course I drive to the parts store and they tell me I better use Porsche only coolant and be prepared to pay.....

Then I drive all the way to Porsche to fork over extra money for the privilege of owning Porsche coolant only to have the parts department closed on Saturdays. I guess I am not driving the car this weekend.....

Coolant?

add some distilled water, probably a coupls of quarts. You can buy a gallon at Safeway for a few $. And then drive your car this weekend...
