NEW? CLICK HERE FOR DAY ONE!
Last weekend I drove the car to Redmond Town Center for a car show, had to get some things done!

| Front valance is attached and coated with undercoating. |
 |
| The throttle cam is the new butchered one but it's painted and works well; I have two more from the junk yard I can cut and make nice and pretty later. |
 |
| I cleaned up the old sound deadening mat and tossed it on. It doesn't look bad but it doesn't look good either. Looking for a solution, probably just one piece of similar or better material if I can find it. |

| At the car show, this tach turned into a 4" sign to the passers by that said, "check out the engine!" |

So after a day of great cars, click here It was time to drive home. I put the key in and heard the sickening sound of nothing. I ripped open the dash to expose the rat nest of wires with the help of my college roommate Dave, who was there to lend a hand... again, and who has been there through most of my better (aka worst) moments.
We took his car to the auto parts store to buy a test light. I found out his Audi TT Turbo is quite a comfortable rescue vehicle if you ever get stranded. All wheel drive, spunky turbo, big brakes, great handling, what else do you need in the northwest where it rains all the time?
Anyway, I found the ignition switch had melted and wasn't working any longer. So we hot wired the car (notice white wires hanging in the photo) and I was off to my 6 year old daughters first t-ball practice 46 miles and one gallon of gas away. Boom, done!
