small updates

Woke up today and walked out to the garage to grab a notebook from my tC, only to be greeted by my 17 (at least) year old dog

Walked in front of it to one side of it

Then to the other side

The thing didn't even lift a paw. Yes, it's living still. somehow.
Anyway, to find out why sc had been rubbing yesterday, I jacked up my car to find out the duct tape that had been holding up my fender lining (temporarily) had come off, probably from me speeding over a couple of the nasty uneven-ness of the pavement in the parking lot in front of the Queen Mary yesterday.  Jacked it up, took it out, and it seems that the holes in my fender lining got even worse...

So, instead of taking the risk of it flying off on the freeway as it happened to me twice already in my tC, I just decided to rip it out.  gave me a chance to see how much clearance i had between the tire and the frame behind the fender when my SC was dropped back down to the ground.  Not too much. apparently, about 0.75" clearance was all I had, meaning I can't really go any lower or with any wheel setup that requires bigger tires.

Oh yeah, got a ticket on Friday in my tC that I just remembered about this morning

Ah well, it was a good run, over a year and a half with no front plates. I was gonna get the tC fixed this week anyway so timing wise, not too  bad.
