I got my car on the 27th, registered it no problem. Stupid DMV took over an hour, and I got a parking ticket as a result. The good news is that the car looks to be in very good shape, aside from a few minor scratches, and a couple of nicks here and there. The interior is very clean. The downsides are that both front window regulators are shot - the driver side is worse then the passenger, but they both need to be replaced. They’re $140 each. The rear tires need replacing (already known), and the outside temperature sensor reads either -40 or 122 degrees F (that I knew about too). The upside is that I have an iPod integration kit for the radio, and a factory alarm on the vehicle, so I don’t have to buy either of those.
Speaking of the iPod, I’m rescuing the one Leon gave me when it died on him - the HD is shot on it, but some ingenious people have found a way to put a CompactFlash memory card inside it. So I bought a 32 GB card, and the adapter, and they should be here by the end of the week. No more lugging CDs around with me.
With regards to the SunRay situation, as it turns out, the beta of 4.1 includes 64 bit PAM (authentication) modules, thus negating 75% of my problems with installation on this setup. Ah well. It’s still not perfect, but it is usable as it is.
