I have a RAV4 (or similar) in Denmark and a Skoda 'something' sedan in Ireland... Will see how those two rentals work out. I am sure I will appreciate the cars I have when I return. LOL

Parts were stuck in Germany for weeks but they have finally arrived and are getting painted. Looking forward to driving the car next week (and relocating it to CT).

that looks a little better. need to get the driver’s window retinted, but otherwise it’s done.

i also took the opportunity (seats out) to fix a mistake i'd made when I swapped seat cushions. pro-tip - when you transplant foam from the passenger seat to the driver's seat because the airbag sensor failed, definitely remove the stupid airbag sensor.

Those older Toyo trucks are super cool!! Also loving the OG legend and the jade green EX Accord.

Edit: I bet Dan approves of the U2 shirt!
