Maybe I should point out that R2D2 is on board.

I saw that, but figured it was an old pic.  DragonCon is already over. 
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

DragonCon?  Never heard of it.  I don't attend any of those things.  I just got to thinking about how R2D2 sits behind the cockpit in Star Wars, and figured I could do that.  So, R2D2 sits dirdctly behind the cabin in my Fiero.  Well, for that picture, anyway.  In Star Wars, R2D2 was supposed to be able to repair the fighter while in flight.  Sounded helpful for the Fiero.

The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.

I can get regular plates, or bicentennial plates.  Any opinions?

While digging around, I found a rusty spot about 1" in diameter by the battery tray.  I guess it's time to break out the angle grinder.

I got my cruise control working...sortof.  The cable coming from the cruise module actually moves when the cruise is set; however, the cable itself hangs and will have to be replaced.

There was a loose ground wire.  This was the bolt holding the jumper from the negative battery terminal to the wheel well.  I tightened it.  Not sure what that could have been affecting.  I guess I should check all the grounds.

Darn it!  While trying to adjust the fit of a piece of trim, the trim broke.

The one over the e-brake, going up under the dash.  I broke it at the e-brake.

If you have all the pieces, you can make a repair by using model car cement and gluing a small thin piece of plastic to the back side, over where the break is located.

I was just going to replace the piece.  I don't want a line on the panel.

Today, I was looking at my mode actuators.  The max AC actuator's spring was dirty.  It took about 2 minutes to clean, and no disassembly was required, although some contortion was required.
