Pulled into my driveway just after midnight with the trany in the trunk!
Lost Vegas is the man for hooking me up in a time of need. I can't give enough gratitude.
By the way... It is a KIA Optima folks... it's got a V6 that was only running 3000 RPMS's at 80 MPH with the AC on! It's no econo-box "rio" . In fact, it was a pretty impressive car for the most part. I even got it a tad bit over the 100MPH mark before backing off and it had plenty of acceleration left
So, after 4 hours sleep, it's back to work and putting the new trany in... I'm a happy man.
