Default It happened to me!

Column Lock! I waited to get it done, and it got me. My car has 20,000 miles on it. I always said "I better get that done". Well, it's time. Thanks to Oak, Nouman, and JoeyG for their support and advice. They got me "free" again, I've made my purchase and run to the mailbox now waiting for my bypass. Anybody need pics of the install? I'm sure this place is thick with them if not, let me know!

Won't it be nice to get it installed and not have to worry about it anymore? Good luck with the install.
