I figured there was some trick to it.  

I really wanted to watch the transmission shop remove the tranmission from
my car when they did the rebuild.  I am just really curious to how they got
it out and back in.  I do know they removed the subframe to do it.

RW> They also use that fender hanging tool to do axle swaps...

You can replace the CV axles on my car without doing that, fortunately.

Nope, but I have an open face helmet.  On really hot days, the top of my
head starts cooking.  When it is that hot, it is better to take the car
with the A/C.

My car is in the shop right now (today).  They are looking for that oil
leak around the pan.  I believe they are going to redo the oil pan gasket. 
All I know so far is that the oil drain plug is cracked and they are
replacing that to start with.
