My kids once tied me to the mast so I wouldn't stop for fast food.

I saw someone else's P2 V70 today at the grocery. It had a deep gash through both passenger side doors. It looked like it was clawed by a monster.

Just a silly little issue - the key fob wouldn't unlock the doors. So you use the key in the door, set off the alarm, jump in and start it. Pretty annoying.

Assumed the battery was shot. Opened it up, and the battery was flopping loose in the holder. So I used tiny screwdrivers and pried and bent the electrical contact tabs so the battery was wedged tight, and now you can lock it through the kitchen window. Free fix!

Finished swapping my front LCAs for the upgraded Meyle HDs. Not a very fun job to do alone, but thankfully I was able to get a hand today to finish up the driver's side. 4 days, and around 30 hours to do, but at least they're done. Hopefully they'll last a few years.

If you can lock from your kitchen, you can also accidentally unlock from the kitchen. My wife is often bumping the alarm button in her pocket for the Smart car in the garage.

If that car is so Smart, why is it stuck in the garage?
