Noisy!

I've been avoiding checking the trans oil because I don't have a 17mm Allen wrench. I saw one at the store, and it looks absurd. I'll buy one maybe this week. Also, the car hasn't driven since 1994 I think! At least that's when the license plate expired. the rear wheels haven't done much spinning recently and so are a little rough. That was part of the noise when hooked up to the car. I'm about to become an expert on brakes and rear axles and low rolling resistance, and the usage of freakishly big Allen wrenches.
