She will be missed around here. Hopefully you still poke in to see how the rest of us masochists are holding up.

New hood release cable installed.

New hood pins/latches ordered.

Left hand headlight sprayer waiting for repair from today's suicidal dove...

Probably that damn bird that I gave water to.

So an e53 can take a ton of abuse in a car crash yet a 5oz dove at 135 kph leaves feathers and part of a beak (I assume) wedged under my sprayer like a freaking Pez dispenser!!
Yeah mother nature....

Maybe apply a small sticker over the headlight washer mounting hole while you wait for the replacement?

Ha Ha

I'll have you know the bird looked nothing like that when I found it.

Could have buried it in a upturned headlight sprayer...
