Made brake vent block-off plates for the T-Racer. Made the casino drive me out there and back with their Courtesy Shuttle. Didn't cause a single ignition event today! (The shuttle would have run whether I was on it or not.) |

I just drove to the shop that charged me $185 for an hour of labor, plus parts and taxes. Now my door locks properly--when I drive.
