Got my driver side coilovers raised a lil bit and got an alignment done. The car sat a half an inch lower on the driver side so any hard braking or dips and bumps would cause it to rub the crap out of the fender liner...no longer a problem!!

I don't understand the low life. To me tucked tires looks like the suspension is broken.
Had the intermittent wiper problem these cars tend to have. Ordered the new relays last night and popped them in today. Maybe I'll get to test them, idk.
For a temporary fix though yesterday when I got home I swapped the relays... problem went away and they wouldn't stick anymore... But I put them in anyways.
The old relays will be a fun teaching tool for my son whenever I start showing him how stuff works

Learning about electrical and electronic stuff can be very interesting for many young boys in particular.

Hopefully whenever, if ever, we upgrade our PLCs at work or if I can get a hold of some inexpensive I/O he can help automating the house.
First things first, he's gotta learn how to hand tools and wrenches. He's only 4 though, but next year I'll start getting him more involved in the fixing that goes on at my house.

@Mangsailor - Maybe Amateur (Ham) Radio would be of interest if your son ends up liking to learn about stuff like electronics.
Eh, I think best of both worlds would be good. Honestly I think there's too much STEM this and STEM this in every toy and tv show.... there's time to learn it all.
But he's off to a good start. I started off as a Navy Nuke machinist mate right after HS ... now I'm an automation engineer (with zero college mind you). I think I'll be able to teach him what he needs to know to find his own way... and have a good time doing it.
On the HAM note, I used to have a 10m linear in my Bronco I used to have and would pop into the speakers of neighboring cars when their music was too loud. Sometimes I'd just hold the mic up and let it feedback. It was glorious and they had no idea.

@Mangsailor - Amateur (Ham) Radio can be a really fun hobby and overall a great learning experience on numerous levels!

Reason: grammar
Inspired by @chinee got a few "black chrome" Lexus/logo door lock covers. They aren't something you'll notice or see easily, but when you do, it does add a nice, subtle touch over the plain black cover.

But as long as they fix everything before the warranty expires, I think I'm ok.
