Not really worth it……

Brake fluid is a subtle chemical to attack other vehicles' paintwork, it softens the paint slowly & insidiously. PVC conduit cement is far more violent. In 30 minutes it can bubble a painted surface back to the base metal.

Don't park too close is all I ask.

Now I need a 2 TB ext HD for Time Machine backups of this 512 GB MBA. I used to use a 650 GB partition of a 750 GB HD for Time Machine with the 128 GB MBA & used the remaining 100 GB as a clone of the system. I'll set up 1.7 GB for Time Machine & 300 GB for a clone. I reformatted the 750 Gb ext drive into a single volume to use as a temp Time Machine backup until I can get an ext drive. An office supplier has WD 2 TB drives for $109 but I hate the extra WD partition you can't get rid of. So I'll possibly get a Seagate or Toshiba drive for about $20 more.

And yes, I did key the old trollop's car door. If you can't get out of a car without causing damage to vehicles already parked then you deserve all the shit you get.

Reminds me of a time some 30 years ago when I returned to my car to find a bastard had angle-parked within 5 inches of mine. I was driving a Ford Escort window van at the time, 2016-05-02 at 17.43.jpg very like the one in the attached pic, but white & without the fancy trim. The exterior door handles protruded & were quite solid.
I climbed in via the rear cargo doors, wriggled into place behind the steering wheel and opened the driver's side door. Violently. Into the offending vehicle's passenger door, leaving a shallow dent. It wasn't a shallow dent when I left the scene, as I'd repeated the door handle application twice more, with equal force. Fixed that bugger.

Somewhat optimistically, I have my old MBA up for sale for $500 or near offer. If it doesn't sell privately, I have a guaranteed offer of $350 from the place where I got the new toy.

I've given up answering the doorbell now. It's a cordless item & is picking up interference from some other source. Goes off with no-one there. Poltergeists, perchance?

Actually worked well for a change. I got exasperated when the backup drive wouldn't show under Migration Assistant, so I booted the older MBA in target disk mode & connected it via Thunderbolt. Just a few wee niggly-naggly differences, but it's going well now.

Unless I have to do some serious video editing, for that the 2011 MBP is still better, but for most other things this will be the main one. Well pleased with it.
