Yes we do. Several years ago, I was in the room when my parents were watching the news. I see this police sketch come up on the screen, and I tell my parents "hey, I work with that guy". Yep... still haven't found him, and he's been on the top 50 list. He found his Wife with another guy at a bar in SL, and popped the dude in the parking lot. I mean... if there's ever a reason I could snap, that would be it. Otherwise, I really liked the guy.

He didn't sleep in there, but he was in there eating her food. She was/is taking some college courses that her commute between the high school and the college took place during her lunch. So, she kept some crackers, powerade, etc. in the car. Well, this dude broke in and took all of her snacks, and also used the car to sit and eat. LOL. I loaded the video on my personal YT account.

Holy Crap that Cobra is too nice to drive! I remember when those came out. I was a junior in high school. Crazy thing is that was 30 freakin' years ago. How did I get so old? No offense to anyone, I just can't believe I remember something from 30 years ago like it was yesterday. Actually better than yesterday, I can't remember **** from yesterday but 30 years ago is crystal clear.

93 was my last year in high school, and I remember the Fox's very very well. I wanted one sooooo bad. There were two 91-93 GT's at school... and IRONICALLY, one was all white, and the other was blue and silver. May have influenced me a bit

So... here's the 3D printed wiper module box. The lid needs to be trimmed just a bit for future printings. However, it still went together with a little persuasion. I used PLA, but I'll use PETG on the other two.

Also... started putting this together today. Gotta wait for the paint to dry to give 'er a check for getting a tire on it. Didn't realize that the tire may contact the bar, so I may raise it up a bit. It's a little more comfortable height for me raising it 3 inches or so anyway. We'll see how it goes. on the test fit... and I have an 18 X 10 that I can use to help make sure it'll work in almost any situation. I did slot the plate 3 inches for variances, etc.
