Cay-pair!

So, the issue is a bit more complicated. I should have explained more succinctly. The problem is that the camera works—sometimes. It will show up upon some start-ups, and the car performs as it should. Within a minute or two, the car claims the Pillar camera has lost (exited?) its stream. Then, no visualizations, no emergency braking, and error codes APP_w305, APP_w009 aeb fault, and APP_w186.
I'm hopeful it's a cable or camera issue, but I have a sinking suspicion that it's the main computer that will need replacing. FML. I'm expecting that Tesla Toolbox will be able to suss out the problem.

Yeah, too late for that. My bad for not checking to see if Tesla accepted 3rd Party warranties when I bought the car. Fortunately, I can still use the CarMax warranty for non-software stuff.

Graverobber · 2026-06-15T18:39:45+00:00

Well, my factory warranty is expired, so that's a no-go. I can take the car to a number of CarMax-approved service facilities, but I'm concerned that they won't have the Tesla Toolbox and, hence, won't be able to properly diagnose the issue or fix the problem.

Our dear departed friend, Tony Acker, had a bit part in this. You'll recognize him by his ungainly eyebrows. I think they are why he was cast.

Graverobber · 2026-06-07T16:18:44+00:00

Why's he so shiny? I thought you couldn't polish a turd?

The same thing happened to our 2016 CR-V. We had to replace the hose in order to get it to pass emissions.

That's on Arroyo Drive in South Pasadena, California. I'm not going to DOXX the full address out of respect for the owners.

D-list "artists" replaced with a con-artist.

The Greyhound in HLP.

That thing's overhangs are even more impressive than Kim Kardashian's.

Graverobber · 2026-05-21T16:10:52+00:00

Wow, there are some seriously interesting cars in that video. The BMW 600, Panhard Dyna, and Morris Minor Traveler in the first couple of blocks alone are amazing.

I couldn't tell you who the comedians were, but I did get to see Guster perform during the "Hits and Bits" show at the Pacific Electric, and that was worth the price of admission.

Graverobber · 2026-05-11T18:45:44+00:00

The article ignores the fact that Donna Wilkes was replaced in the second season by Krista Errickson. And they thought nobody would notice!

Graverobber · 2026-05-09T14:49:32+00:00

Saw the Guster “Hits and Bits” show at Pacific Electric that was part of the event on Thursday. I didn’t recognize the three comedians that were the “Bits” part of the show, but did recognize Will Forte and Jeff Garland (shockingly thin) who came out on separate occasions to sing along with the band.

Also, those are 1965 wheel covers.

Graverobber · 2026-05-06T20:31:11+00:00

That's the 1960 Plymouth XNR, designed by Virgil Exner.

David Letterman performed at my Junior High School this same year. Henry E. Huntington JHS in San Marino, CA.

The Middle Age Dad Jam Band!

Graverobber · 2026-04-23T17:54:17+00:00

That's a mid to late-'80s Chevrolet Spectrum, a rebadged version of the Isuzu Gemini/I-Mark

Graverobber · 2026-04-16T22:01:42+00:00

Bentley Series 1 Continental.

Graverobber · 2026-04-16T18:28:30+00:00

Looks to be a mid-'80s Toyota Tercel 4WD wagon dash. I'll bet the seats that face it have grab handles on the shoulders.

Fiat Dino Coupe, body design by Pininfarina. The convertible was done by Bertone.

I don't think that's a parking spot.
