Just dumped all my tranny fluid!

Your kitchen table works nicely. Wash parts in the sink; the drain will be really clean! You can do it in a weekend; even being green. I hear this excuse all the time, where there is a will there is a way. Know your machine, then you won't have to be at the mercy of someone else.
Haha! I'll run that by my wife and see if she's ok with it. If I was a single man I'd do it in a heartbeat! I agree wholeheartedly with you on the rest. That's why I drive "vintage" vehicles in the first place.
