I truly forgot there was even a keyed lock on a door at all. Unlike most of you - I don't see my car every day.
Do you have a key ring?!

One of them is probably packed from the recent move. The other is hidden at my brother in laws where the car is currently stored.
Looks like the weather is gonna hold out so I can get the car back tomorrow. Gotta throw the jumper cables in my wife's mom-mobile.
Just wondering if you saw your car keys every day . .. .

A buddy of mine can help you out. He`ll have you step on this platform and almost magical teleport you into the front seat of your car. Answers to the name Capt. Kirk give him a call.
Nope, the strip flexes. Think about it... if you gotta get in WITH THE KEY, of course you gotta open the door.
I've done it once already when I stored it for the winter, before I got a trickle charger. I think it even states something about it in the owners manual.

Sounds like good times!
We like to make everything "off topic" whenever possible. That's why we decided to make our own thread.

Honestly I wasn't making fun of you. When I first read your problem Iwas think of ways to get in your car and I didn't think of using the key either. So I had a brain fart as well.
I was just commenting on how much I rely on the key fob, since all my cars for the past ten years or so have had remote locks.
Another thing I had to get used to on my Mustang was manually turning on the headlights. My past seveal cars have also had auto headlamps.
I also panic when the batteries on my TV remote go dead.

It's all good. I believe you, others may not.

Not sure if this was suggested in the 5 pages of postings.
If you are going to store your car "like the orig poster" and it is in a safe garage, either pop the hood and leave it popped so if the battery dies you can at least open the hood and give it a quick charge, then your key flob would work, in conjunction with the 1/4" window drop when opening the door.
BUT, the tires were slightly out of round from sitting. It looks like this winter I'll have to get the car up "on blocks". The hard part will be getting it over far enough to the wall for storage while having enough room between the wall and car to use the jack safely.

If the hood is popped, can you arm the security system?
If the car is off it's wheels and covered, do you need the alarm on?
Some leave a trickle charger on the battery. It's better for it anyway.
Hardcore will take the battery out to store a car for more than four months.
They'll also change the oil before AND after storing a vehicle.

Um, for the winter I use a trickle charger. I change the oil late fall and very early spring, even though I am using full syn. I figure more than anything... I'm taking care of any water build up problems. This past winter I started it once every other week to run the a/c, get the tires in a different position, etc by driving it around the block and back into the garage. (only if no snow was on the streets and salt was not present) So blocks may not be a good option after all.
Ask 10 different people on how to store a car, get 10 different answers.
