Yea, same photography skills too

I still like my color a lot, but go round and round on the wheels, or whether to think about getting a spyder or GS (still haven't driven one...).
Anyway, I had the car on a four post lift, so it was level. I didn't get a good estimate of how much came out unfortunately, as my buddy hadn't emptied his catch pan since his last change, but I left the drain plug off for a good hour probably, so it was dry.
On my first attempt I removed the hose and elbows completely on both plugs and tried to fill directly into the top hole. This didn't work at all, I could hardly get any fluid in there without it backing up and spilling out the hole I was filling from. I assumed there were baffles or a tight passage from these holes into the gearbox, so I reattached the elbow and hose to the top plug and connected a fluid hand-pump directly to the open end of the hose and filled this way. This worked fine, but as I said, no overflow from the bottom hole after at least 3.5 quarts... I decided that maybe there were baffles on the lower plug preventing any overflow, and perhaps I had the wrong level plug, and considering I had more than the capacity in there already, I buttoned it up and hoped for the best.

I sent you a PM about the maseratitechinfo site BTW.
