Thats why I carry 2 sets of keys, a set with car/house keys, and a set with both and the rest. The car likes to randomly lock me out w/ keys in it. Mechanism is mucked up but not enough to fix it.

I buy a spare key the same day I get a new car.. The one I just got has a funky drivers side key cylinder, get locked out after exiting the car w/ keys inside. How many of you carry a 2nd key on you? I do...

Sounds like my issue with 95 Geo Prizm, bought 2 side mirrors off a 95 Corolla, 2 out of 3 bolts lined up, still looks a little 'off'.

For a second thought you were asking for opinions on Win XP... I agree to go with Fram Ultras

Take it to a good muffler shop that will take the time to listen and tell you where the issues are. My 81 Corolla was the same way. Exhaust moaned mosta the time, more on curves. Gutting the cat, new doughnut didn't help. It was a character thing.. Still blew cold a/c. Trans was in reverse as...

Yikes, I don't quite think it can do diddly squat, with an absent battery. Might be good for the absent-minded folks who accidentally leave their lights on a bit too long.

Run down the oldest battery of the bunch... Cig lighter sockets can only carry so much current.... Let me know how that goes, I'm curious!

Great parody there, Nick! I hope E20 got the gist. He doesn't want his whole car "wearing out" from all the door open/closing, the brake pedal pivot bushing, brake light switch(es) the accelerator cable, the throttle butterfly bushings, getting more gunk into the air filter, dirtying up my...
