The "trunk release" lever doesn't feel right, but works.  Probably just a broken pivot inside or something.

The driver's side door handle is not fully connected.  The driver's side door also doesn't close smoothly - this may be related to the handle not being fully set.  It closes, but feels like it's slightly out of adjustment (hanging low).

At a (cold) idle.  The voltmeter showed 12v with the engine off, so I suspect the voltage really is this high.  It was also affected by lights/blowers.  It's probably either a bad battery or blown voltage regulator.  I wouldn't drive it until this was fixed.  The shop owner also said he could find someone to deal with it.

While running, all the idiot lights are on.  I assume this is related to the alternator issues.
