[Shotimes] electronic brake bleeder

I hope there isn't going to be any bumper car type races this time. Maybe
the boys from Madison sent out an APB.

Ahh, it's a moot point, anyway!! The ice scraper/brush went into the trunk

Car activities until April consist of drive-through car washes, Jiffy Lube
oil changes, and keeping the washer bottle full!!
