Final tally on the weekend though:
Fixed ELC on John'* car (been dead longer than he remembers).
Drank beer.
Fixed belt shredding problem on John'* car.
Did some work on his power steering.
Midnight snack of thick juicy steaks.
Made templates for his hood vent install.
Cleaned/lubed ELC pumps on all 3 cars.
Tinted John'* spare set of tails (best job I've seen yet).
Drank beer.
Fixed exhaust rattle on reciever hitch on the SLE.
Got 2 critical parts John needed at the wrecker (for his SSEi and his Exploder).
Drank beer.
Drank Vodka.
Diagnosed a weak fuel pump (not TOO bad yet, but below factory spec)
Drank Beer.
And had a damn good time in general, particularly with the Portland and Seattle Grand Prix folks.

I drove his car for the first time (this trip) yesterday, and my first throttle romp was "Uh-Oh!" Broken motorm mount. I could feel it thump. It failed so gradually, John didn't even really notice it, or didn't realize when it finally failed.
Front trans mount is entirely seperated, main TA motor mount MAY be getting tired.
