Anyone broke into a ls430 before? Keys ended up locked in the trunk and the spare keys are 6 hours away.

I have wedges and lots of tools, I just don't want to gently caress up the weather stripping or the frame of the door. At least we are at my parents house, so we have extra vehicles and everything. I just mostly want my mouth guard, I am so used to sleeping with that thing I don't know if I can even sleep without it.
Have the spare keys overnighted. Its cheap (they're small and lightweight) and quick, especially if you have extra vehicles where you don't need it *now*.

Last time I had an AAA locksmith break into a toyota product, they knew of some weird easter egg and just opened it by loving with the rear driver's side door handle or something (this of course meant, I really made sure I never left anything in that loving car). Not that that particular trick will work, but you might be surprised. Maybe ask ahead of time what they'd do.

I am OK with both of these. I absolutely kick over to the various Christmas channels on Pandora around that time.

And there's forever a place in my soul for Glen Campbell, thanks to my mom's albums when I was a kid.

thanks, it was just bag juices from sous vide-ing the pork with some mustard and lemon juice. I think my favourite part was sticking the big bit of fat directly into the charcoal which made excellent crackling like I've not had on a chop before

Oh god my HOA is pissed enough that I had the audacity to park the Gorester on the street for a week while it was nearly 100F and I didn't feel like playing musical cars in my driveway. I don't think work would take too kindly to me storing a bus in the lot (although there is space.)

I felt dirty when I finally had to send a complaint to my HOA about a van that had literally been street parked in the exact same spot (complete with cobwebs from the ground to the tires and a slowly growing pool of ATF) for two months straight, and prior to that had only moved about three feet from where it had been parked for a few weeks.

What's that PMD thing?

It's a hubcap, likely from an old Pontiac, turned into a lamp.

whoo what a loving week so far. I was on call this weekend, the voicemail server froze, I had to come in on saturday and fix it.
I touched it and it literally just died. Right there in my hands from hitting the reset button. Dead.

Cue 5 hours of me pulling out and taking apart all the server components trying to figure what killed it. I thought it was the power supplies, but couldn't find blown caps or anything and not that it even would matter because we don't have replacement anythings for this ancient piece of poo poo.
Meanwhile the vendor that supports is it scrambling to find parts with no avail so we just buy some poo poo used PSU off ebay and have it overnighted. ta-da! it works now and I have no idea what the gently caress happened to the vendor. Some say that they're still out there searching...

Mmm, it's even worse with this, IMO, as the original TV show is about people who are tough cops, but they're not the belligerent, thuggish "double 'ard bastids, innit" portrayed here. The reason Life On Mars and Ashes To Ashes work so well is because they knew exactly how to have a poke at that stuff.

It's one for the "if you want to make a poo poo film, make your own poo poo film, don't gently caress up a fondly-regarded property to stroke your ego doing it" files.

Reminds me of the League Of Gentlemen characters constantly stood in the video rental place deciding what to get using a metric of "How many killings it got in it?"
