Plug it in and walk away.
There's only one thing from making it that simple right now: my accessory battery charger. It's a Schumacher smart charger - 12/8/2A. Every single time I plug the car in to charge I have to go inside and push the charge rate selector to turn the Schumacher on to charge the 12V accessory battery. Sure, it only takes about 20 seconds extra, but it's the principle! I want be able to plug in and walk away.
So today I finally found a cheap microprocessor controlled 2A charger:
eBay. $18.99 with free shipping. Seems like it is finally the last piece of the puzzle.
Now how about some more pictures of the ICE teardown....
Amazing how good the bearings/journals looked. They honestly looked like brand new. This is with 281K km (175K miles). Seriously.
The pieces are now small enough to haul in the back of the eBooger to the scrap bin. How ironic....
