Who has that much time? Among others, retired engineers who like the mental stimulation and those who travel a lot internationally and find themselves awake at 2 am. I have been both of those. It helps to be a motorhead as well. Glad you found it all helpful. There isn't a right or wrong answer. My push back on changing transmission fluid has never been that people shouldn't do it, but rather that they shouldn't do it blindly without an appreciation of the both the risks and potential benefits.

And on the emoticons, I once commented to a moderator that there were US flags, but not some of the others. That got me these two (I have dual passports) All was good for a few days, until another moderator (perhaps one who believes that size matters) added the third one.
