Default draining the coolant is like....

I just got home from class and my friend has a haggered look on his face. He tells me he is draining his coolant. The coolant is fresh and he wants to save it so he has a hose and funnel ready by the drain....he pops the drain and it sprayed all over him. He said he was expecting a pee stream of coolant and instead it got everywhere..."like a girl peeing."

That's when I lost it. We have all had coolant spray all over us when working on these cars but I never thought about it in terms of a a girl peeing and I had to share this image.

This is an avoidable problem.. search for a thread I started regarding pimp *** radiator drains, it contains source and parts list.. works like a dream... already had to drain the fresh coolant out of my NA using it.

That really is a pimp *** radiator drain. I'm glad it does away with the GD PITA POS (etc.) plastic drain plug. Gonna put this on my list of things to do, thanks!
