The CSX: January 20, 2003

I haven’t driven this car at all lately. I don’t like to drive it in the winter anyway, but real reason is that the starter solenoid was dying. I knew it would go, since I got the car with no heat shield and the solenoid was all melted. Well, this weekend I swapped the starter from my old Shadow in and found that my retrofit heat shield was now gone as well. That would explain that burning plastic smell I was noticing this summer. Luckily I had bought 2 new heat shields this fall (dealer parts), so I put one of those in along with the starter.
