[s-cars] Antifreeze FnF procedure

[George Grubr]

Ed,

plain distilled water - one flush, refill and drive with it for couple of
days (wormer weather that is). Worked for me ok for years.

All this talk of the proper antifreeze has made me nervous about the stuff
in my car.  Recently, I changed out the old coolant in favor of the red
GM/Havoline dex triple cool  super mac daddy juice..... Which I now know is
not good.  So I'll change ASAP.  But here is the question:

What is the best manner in which to extract *all* of the old stuff?  I know
about the radiator drain and thermostat removal, but after 4 FnFs (flush n
fill), I still had some excess old (green) coolant in the system.  BTW,
green and red coolant do not mix to make a pleasant color!

Also, other than Paul K's front yard, where is the best place and procedure
to drain and recover the coolant?  My grass didn't like any spillage the
first time, though my neighbor's dog did!
