The MR2 is built. Dear god, I am sore and tired. &nbsp;It started Friday night and was expected to be a job done by Saturday afternoon. Sunday afternoon rolls around and we're still smashing things... There's odds and ends to clean up (I'm absolutely sure it needs an alignment and set of plugs) but otherwise I am done working on cars for quite awhile.

Gabe: A few eagle eyed viewers noticed that I accidentally drew a Nebulon-B frigate in today's comic. Gabe mentions the Mon Calamari and the Corellians but the Nebulon-B is actually produced by the Kuat Drive Yards.I deeply regret the mistake and I have since corrected it in the comic by replacing the original drawing with one of the Mon Calamari Cruiser "Liberty", sadly lost in the Battle of Endor . I am in no way trying to diminish the Nebulon-B frigate or the fine craftsmanship of the dedicated workers employed by KDY. Again I apologize for any inconvenience or offence my carelessness may have caused.  -Gabe out
