She's still not feeling well, so I went back to the Auto Hobby Shop and rewired the cheese-mo 'eBay' fog light kit I bought for the Honda last year. Both lights died sometime last September and I haven't felt much like figuring it out. I took a stab at it about a month ago on a nice Saturday - no dice. Today, I pulled the nose off the car and troubleshot the whole system down to a melted 'El Cheapo' Chinese relay. Swapped out the relay and rewired the 'hinky' parts and now they're working great.

Helped some kid who lowered his Nissan 300ZX too far (over 2" drop) pull the car off the lift because it was high-centered. Then later, had to stuff a floor jack under the rear end to get it over the 1"x1" gate channel so he could leave the Auto Hobby Shop. Cracks me up every time.

Of course, since they installed some nice above-ground tire rippers across the outbound lanes at both gates, I'm thinking that guy's not even going to be able to get his car off the base.

And even if he wanted to try and unf00k everything he did to his car, he most likely won't be able to get it back into the Auto Hobby Shop, let alone onto a lift again either.

Bummer... for him. I re-discovered exactly why I have no intention of ever lowering my junk.
