Alright, so I figure it's a good time to pull the GTA out of storage this weekend (Hey, I've been busy). I know the battery is dead, so I went up to the garage I rent to slap my charger on it. Of course, the light in the garage has burned out. No problem, I can see well enough to figure out which is positive and negative. So I lift my charger over the fender and CRAP! My aligator clips slipped off of the top of the charger and took a small chunk of paint off of my fender. Who knew they'd hit that hard... Felt like it's down to the metal too. Dammit, first I get a small burn in welding class (one of many to come I'm sure) and then I scratch my new paint. Oh yeah, what a great day.
I did figure out why the battery died though. As soon as I hooked up the charger I heard a familiar clicking coming from just infront of the battery. Sure enough, the headlight motor. I gave it a couple of minutes and then hit the headlights. Slowly up, flash, even slower down... And the noise stopped. Now why didn't I notice that clicking last fall?
Last I heard it's supposed to raint tomorrow so it won't be coming out then anyway. At least I can still get the temp permit and schedule an e-test, and put my new cap/rotor/leads/air filter on. Might as well replace that leaky thermostat housing gasket while I'm in there... Rad fluid... lol

I drive a black 89' GTA with the L98.
I think If I sneezed around my car the paint would jump off.
my batteries dead too by the way since the car's been sitting all winter.
oh yeah and my ignition module is dead. or coil or this or that or...

Of course, I noticed some nice new scratches on the corner of my rear bumper. Ah, the joys of a shared garage... Lets see if they buff out before I figure out how mad I am. Damn neighbors. 
Not to mention the crap I went through with my distributor... Ah well, she's running now, and I still have a hole on my now dark black fingernail. lol

Just behind what's left of South Common Mall. I saw an almost identical car in that parking lot last year. Mine's the one without window tint.
That's not far at all.
