Now that's a spicy meatball

Fred got his hands on the Swedish Meatball this morning, and he says it looks pretty good. Transmission fluid is blacker than "hen crap," so they're gonna do a transmission flush. (Go, get thee to a nunnery thou vile auto sludge.) Rear brake light and front high beam need replacement, and bolt on right windshield wiper to get a tightening. That's about it, unless in the second go round a hidden bug crawls from his hole. Chris mentioned that the sun roof is caulked shut - so much for that romance slit. But at least no leaks.
