but first, time for something completely different:

Isn't this cool?

So the car was theoretically supposed to be finished today. All clean and spiffy and still looking used, but with a working trunk and bumper. Of course, they had just gotten in a few of the parts this morning, so of course it wasn't ready yet. Ah well. I didn't want to drive today anyway. It's funny cause the original part they got in was for the slightly later version of the car with taillights across the trunk. Except for that the two models are exactly alike, so it's easy to see how they made the mistake, but sheesh. We got to see the almost finished car without back trunk panel or bumper, and let me tell you, that's an odd looking car. At least they were able to re-use the taillights. Still amazes me that the lights didn't break. Small favors I suppose.
