Default I'm glad I don't have to winterize my cars like I do my boats

Spent all afternoon up to my elbows in pink enviro-friendly antifreeze. Had to change the impeller on the 7.4L big block after it wouldn't suck water from the earmuffs and overheated and destroyed itself. This is a fun exercise in working with hand tools while oriented upside down in the engine compartment.

People who complain about how there is no room to work on modern cars have probably not worked on many marine engines.

Not sure why I am posting this. Just wanted to share.

Default That's cheating! Go do it yourself.

They are most likely too busy to get to it right away anyway.
