Lots of crap came today

And no, I don't mean that I have diarrhea. Well, let's see. Also the stuff from JC Whitneys came today like brake pads and heat shrink tubing. An Aluminum plate for keeping the controller cool, which is too small now, but I will use it anyway. I started fixing the hole in the back of the car with fiberglass material and stinky liquid stuff. It looks just like new! haha. I felt mentally detached for about 2 hours afterward. I hope the damage isn't permanent.

I bought a new contactor on ebay, since I lost bubba. It's a nice one too. Hermetically sealed, so it can be an underwater EV as well. Normally about $200, and I got it for $95. Yay, big whoop. Now I'm going to be overdrafted. oh well.
