      TZUTC: -0700       MSGID: 745.automoti@1:218/700 2402fae0       PID: Synchronet 3.18c-Win32 Sep 30 2020 MSC 1927       TID: SBBSecho 3.11-Win32 r3.179 Sep 30 2020 MSC 1927       CHRS: ASCII 1       I had a productive morning.              My wife's Mazda CX-9 had had a front end mishap at one point, and the       bumper fascia has popped out of the body. I found a Mazda parts site       that sold the retainer clip, and after 30 minutes of popping plastic       retainers, unscrewing the clip (1 8mm and 1 10mm hex-head screws, very       odd...) and a bit of superglue, it's all back together and looking       pretty good.              A bit of polishing compound took care of the glaze on the headlight       surrounds - for now. I'll need to do them properly and clear-coat them       next time.              I had a hole in the dashboard, and fixed it with a bit of Sugru. Took       a 220 sanding block to it to flatten it out, followed up with a bit of       flat black paint.              At this point, all of the major nits when I bought the car are taken       care of. There are a couple of light scratches that the place used       that colored wax on that are showing through, a proper exterior       detailing should take care of that.              Next on my list - tires. It's currently got "H/T" tires on it, not       sure if they'd be better than properly rated all-season tires.                            ...
