Blood is as important a fluid (or at least as common) as any other when it comes to car maintanance. Plus it's worth the extra $4000 to be able to drink beer instead of coffee.

 

If you think that's funny wait till you see Angry Joe's E-Z transmission removal instructions. I'll write them when I actually get the transmission back IN the car and get my stiches removed
