This revelation probably also has a lot to do with buying a motorbike this summer. I'm thinking more along the lines of a 2 car + x bikes life now. E30 for summer, and the 3.6R or similar for people/dog/parts/winter.
That said, I put some work in today on it. New battery (fuck me, I seem to burn through batteries on this car because I drive it so little... This is the fifth battery it's had since I bought it), and swapped out the left taillight because it filled with water and cracked. No idea what the hell happened there - had a new gasket but still was collecting water somehow. If this one does the same thing, it's getting a drain hole drilled on the backside (one exists for the reverse light section, but not the turn signal?)
Re: battery, I also bought a new "smart" charger/tender to hopefully make this one last. I need another for the bike this winter.
