I need to take some pictures, and cool video like Benji (not the famous dog). I finished the brakes and fixed the emergency brakes. The e-brakes were put on wrong. that was annoying. I started removing all the metal connectors for the electrical system, since most of them are decroded pieces of monkey poo. I couldn't find my wire strippers, so I had to use a box cutter. I cut my dang arm off on accident. I re-attached it, though, so everything is fine now. Actually it reattached itself when I cried out to Stedman, Oprah's patron saint.

I rolled the car down the driveway (hill) to test out the brakes. They work really well! Um, now I can't get the car back up the driveway. I'm a stupid idiot. My extension cord won't reach down there, and I need power tools to do some stuff to the car, like install a Stedman shrine. Actually, I plan on putting every power electronics item inside the car behind where the back seat used to be, and I need to drill a few holes.
