Reprogrammed your FOB to open any car on earth? OK, fixed it somehow I guess.
I'd love to remove the red alarm key use one day. Twice I've set it off by mistake.

LOL, man, C5 Gen turned into the old OT while I was gone I guess!

Actually I attempted to bend space and time in efforts to undo the creation of the C7 tail lights but failed sadly.

Is the new C7 out yet?? I thought that they had just redesigned the Camaro to make it resemble the Nissan Z. Funny how first impressions are wrong sometimes.

You finally added up the receipts for the MODS you've done and went to the house to get a COLD six pack to get enough nerve to tell the wife you won't be able to take the cruise to St. Thomas this year...

Randall "Memphis" Raines called you and needed a KEY made for THE Tiger Shark for their next boost...

It's from.....Harbor Freight. But it had really tiny tips with it and I couldn't find anything comparable locally. Worked like a freaking champ too.

Cut me a little slack, it was 8:30 am. Brew came out around 11 as I was stripping more parts off my poor Trans Am to sell, quelling deep seated feelings of guilt while doing so.

Bought all materials needed to repair bad switch assembly, decided that was something you couldn't do after all, so decided to tie a few flies and just go fishing instead. ����
