August 18, 2008: While taking someone for a ride at the Open House, my left front fender was shaking more than it should.
Before we could get back to the shop, the front stay broke free and started waving around. I slowed, but it quickly grabbed the front tire and bent the remaining stay. I was able to stop the car before anything really terrible happened. A roadside fix that involved rebending the 1/2" bar and securing the pieces with a piece of string got us back.

A bit of bending and some welding and voila. Fixed.
