Tell me about it. Like I can not even get a surf key cut for myself. Every time I go to the beach for some bodyboarding, if I got no one else with me, my keys are in my car, and my car is unlocked. Electronic Keys and Salt Water do not mix.

Ditto. I try to make sure that my mechanic is not a friend of mine. Every time you get a friend involved for car work, there has been problems.
My Dad Van - Needed some new tyres. Took it in to a friend. While driving home, we nearly lost one of the wheels.
My Sister Mazada 626 - She breaks her timing belt. Orginally the car was going to be in the shop for 2 weeks. 7 weeks later, she calling up the her friend asking "When am I going to get my car back?" as they sort of forgot about it.
My next door neighbour - He keeps going on and on how he can show me how to fix/service/improve my car. And then I hear him complaining how he's have this car problem or that.
My other next door neighbour - He's a mechanic too. However I still want to see him dead. Some of the old tech forums members knows why.

Yeah. It's the sercurity chip in mine.
But then again, it's pay for itself as having the car alarm and immobilizer on the car is another $200 of my insurance premiums each year.
