I'm a big fan of The Day The Earth Stood Still. Good message and less useless horror than modern aliens-invade movies.

Anyway. Car finally finished charging. Started it up and a big cloud of smoke came out- flooded cylinders? Then it ran fine. I'm going to get some good pictures of it soon and get started on the boat tail and headlight conversion. More urgently, get the new tires on. Like, maybe tomorrow. And an oil change.

Also would like to get the e-brake fixed. I need to get out at the first snow and mess around in a parking lot to get a feel for it. Doing this could save your life one day!

This will probably go on insurance in a couple weeks. I was planning on switching on the Fall Equinox but the Rabbit's acting silly and has HVAC problems again. Car show season is almost over. I'm excited about the Probe again. It will be on the road soon.

Just to get a more concise list:

-mount new tires
-oil change
-headlight conversion
-boat tail
-e brake
-put it on insurance
-plugs, cap, rotor, wires
