    I went down to the garage a few days ago and found that my Dad's telescope tripod fell on my Wagon. That's my fault - Read again, My fault; I moved it back so far and close to the wall that the legs weren't extended out enough to prevent this from happening. (I did it to make room for pulling the car in after I idled it.) My guess is that snow fell off the roof and caused enough vibration to make the tripod fall.

    ... So now I got dented trim and some scruffs and scratches on the driver's side fender and hood. No photos now.

    I about had a heart palpitation! I love this car. It looks awesome. Congrats on the purchase. I hope you enjoy the heck out of it.

    The real problem with that Nomad Smokinbill is it's not sitting in my garage.
    It's even the right color.

    I put the factory wiper blades back on after locating a refill source. Night and day difference in performance compared to the generic replacements.

    Also got an exhaust leak on the driver's side manifold. NOT looking forward to potentially breaking off bolts to fix that...

    Finding blade replacements is about impossible these days.

    Gas with ethanol, maybe? I don't know. Some stations near me (County Fair, mostly) sell 100% gas which I'll be using for my Caprice and Mercury once weather permits.
