I was changing my radiator fluid and......
Here in Colorado you can pour your antifreeze down the drain. So, after work I went to the store and purchased 5 gallons of distilled water to go with the Nisson ant-freeze I had already purchased. Then I drove straight to my local car wash and parked my car right over the drain in the wash bay. That is when it happened, as I pulled the plug and the HOT ant-freeze started pouring down on my hand I pulled away and the drain plug fell straight for the drain but lucky me it stopped right on the edge of the drain. After that I pulled the car forward and proceeded to drain and refill. I hope this helps someone else who thinks they are smart like me.

Just because you are "allowed" to do something, doesn't mean you should. You should dispose of all fluids in a safe and responsible manner.

It was hot but I tend to be pretty thick skinned. It did not leave a mark. I was to impatient to wait for it to cool down after every time I filled with water and let the engine run for 5-10 minuits.

Clearly you are a dummy....not only do you add to the pollution cause they say its ok...but you change your fluid while its hot....You should consider yourself very lucky that it didn't spray into your eyes...u would likely be blind...glad u are in Colorado...
