Dude, Where's My Car?

In the driveway.  That's where it is.  It used to live happily in our garage, which I was so excited to have when we bought our house.  But now, it's warm home has been taken over by my DIY husband who has taken his car apart.  What now lives in my garage is what you see below.

Ever seen the inner workings of a transmission?  Neither had I until two days ago.  Just don't ask me what any of it does.  Hopefully all will go well and my car will be back home safe and sound where it belongs very soon.
