Default POLL: DSMIC and FMIC owners; how many times a year do you have hoses pop off the IC?

With the euro increasing, I'm thinking of just re-using the FMIC I have in my garage and temporarily suspending my desire to get a DSMIC. TIA

Default Where did you guys get them?

I'm thinking spending $50 now to reuse my FMIC is a good choice if I can prevent the hoses popping off at will
