RW> I decided yesterday to load up the Malibu and bring it home. It's more   
   RW> convenient to work on it here, rather than go over to the shop and work   
   RW> on   
      
   Sure would be nice to have a hydrolic lift at home.  :)  Not work the   
   investment unless you are doing tons of car work at home.  I have a few really   
   nice jacks, but nothing beats the lift for certain jobs.   
      
   RW> When I need to heat the garage, I unhook the dryer vent and use that for   
   RW> heat. I've done that for years.   
      
   That is a great idea.  I will sometimes just leave the door that goes to the   
   garage from the house open to let some warm air in, plus my little portable   
   heater next to me.  Provided the garage doors are closed, it does get warm in   
   there.   
      
   RW> I wouldn't have bought their harness or switch, but I would have wired   
   RW> them to the battery, no doubt.   
      
   I'm happy to not have any electrical issues after all my modifications.  The   
   added riding lights, the "heat deamons" (heated grips), my LED riding lights,   
   and new headlight.     
      
   I did tap one of the accessory wires for the heated grips.   
      
   RW> I've never ridden mine more than 60 miles from home but have had the   
   RW> pleasure of riding in the rain with that windshield in place. Getting   
   RW> soaked isn't my idea of fun.   
      
   No, and getting stuck in a massive thunderstorm is even worse.  Not to mention   
   very stressful, I poured the water out of my boots when I got home.     
      
   Made the mistake that I thought I could outrun the storm - and lost.
