Default Re: One more, I hope

It's not the kiss of death, but Operations can knock you out of a Top Flight. My 90 scored 97.5 (first time judged), but suffered the following FUBARs:

* Right headlight would not go up (just had it repaired)
* CD player did not work (repaired previously)
* Glovebox light flickered (still need to get a new switch)
* Was hit for non-existant inflatable bolsters on seat bottoms (I should have known my car better, but two judges were telling me the same thing)

If all these were fixed I would have scored 98.5. 10 points could be the difference between flight awards. If you drive the car you can get some points back, as well as having an NCRS sticker, fire extinguisher and battery disconnect.

Good luck and let us know how you do.
