[sigh] smelled burning plastic on my way home from work Friday. Pulled over, opened hood and found this melting on header. So much for having nice things.

True, I'm lucky. Not sure how hot the header gets at that point (near the sensor), but I'm REAL glad it didn't melt right onto the sensor. When it cooled, I was able to peel off the melted plastic pretty easy. The cover was always a bit loose. Not sure why it flew off like that. Lesson learned for sure.

Got pulled over after an officer ran my tag. He didn't think the car matched any "TOYOTA SCION" he'd seen before... He then asked about my taillights.
![]() After he realized he confused an 86 with aftermarket tails for a McLaren, he let me on my way. Whole stop took 45 seconds. These cars definitely look good. ![]() ![]() |

-_- Even if the car was a McLaren, was he just intent on finding something wrong with the car or its operator's driving just because it's a McLaren? Then to find out it's a Toyota with funky taillights...talk about Womp, Womp, Womp.
