Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Good points

1. Fitted a new door mirror myself so I now have a working electric mirror
   
2. Looks nice
   
3. Black bumper trim restorer worked nicely
   
   

Bad points

1. Electric window motor in the back ate itself so now my window is propped shut by a cardboard Starbucks insulator thing
   
2. While fixing this roadside the front tyre went down, and the spare stays up but the tread isn't legal
   
3. Cold start woes continue - probably needs new cold start valve and/or injectors
   
4. All the other things that the health check at the Merc specialist showed up - rear wheel binding, brake fluid needs changing, brake hoses corroded, leaking air box, non-standard exhaust back box fitted means it hangs down a bit
   
5. Fucked up my Mercedes jack by jacking incorrectly
   
   

Fuuuuuuck
