Column Fix Mod
I just ordered the LCM5 column lock eliminator for $40. I haven't had a problem yet but it looks like eventualy it would develop one and it doesn't take much for these batteries to dump pretty quick. I keep mine on a float charger constantly because you never know when you're going to drive it again.
I did have it go dead in the lower garage in the Fall but everything worked perfect including the seat and steering wheel memory after recharging but I don't want to take a chance.
I bought a good portable tire pump and a new 800 amp lithium battery jump box as well.
I want to make sure I can get this thing home when I leave with it.
I know I can get just me home with not much problem but I'd be scared to be stranded with this thing somewhere.

I think when ever go on vacation again I think I'd like to visit him.
Wonder what he did for a living to be able to be able to accumulate that much stuff. Yes he deffinately is the winner. "Dragonman" he calls himself

Not really. As far as the column lock goes at least. Mine was fine for a few years after I got it too. Then it started acting funny. They will all fail eventually. Might as well do the CLB before it gets you stranded somewhere.
