why are automatics so messy

"Hey Lee, we can save 50 cents on each car."

"REALLY? how??"

"We'll just get rid of some drain plugs."

"GREAT!!! DO it!!!"

You know there were actually some Chivvys built (mid 70's?) that came with NO radiator or block drains!!!!! You could either drop a siphon down the rad (crossflow) or pull the bottom hose, and then go back and beat a hole in a block plug. You used to be able to buy Chivvy freeze plugs with a drain bung!!!!
