YUCK! Especially with the rise in parking lots vs. parallel parking. Speaking of door locks, do you know how secure your door locks really are? I ran into a young lady yesterday who had locked her keys in her car. We couldn't find a coathanger, so we bothered a police officer, knowing that they often carried special gadgets for this very purpose. He had a long thin piece of sheet metal with a notch in it, slid it down between the glass and the door, and proceeded to open the Mustang in three seconds! Truely disgusting! Guess there really is a good reason for all those shields BMW put around my door locks. They get in the way when you remove the locks to paint the car, but they're obviously worth it! -- _____ /_____\ "Get out there and keep moving forward!" /_______\ - Leo Franchi |___| Snoopy ____|___|_____ ihnp4!ihuxl!seifert
