Ah Shit
"Alright Bradley, you think you're so much smarter than the rest of society, you can do this".
This is what I told myself as I attempted to drain and flush the coolant system in my car. Did it need fucking around with? No, no it did not. Does it need fucking around with now? Yes, yes it does.
There's still grease on my hands though, I feel both more masculine and stupid despite the whole event. I suppose that's appropriate really.

Masculinity and stupidity go hand in hand. :ohwomen:
I can do the easy stuff -- oil change, fix a flat, replace the fan belt -- but I pay someone to do the messier maintenance. What did you mess up? Don't you just drain the coolant, run the engine with water to get the waste coolant out, drain the dirty water, and then refill with water + coolant mixture?
That is pretty much what I did. I overestimated in my entry, my maintenance was actually succesful and my car is only slightly worse off now than before I started.
"Overestimated in [your] entry" sounds like a sexual blunder.
In any event, you probably did a much better job than I would have done.
