Anyone know how to hot wire a car? on the Peoria.com Forums

I still havent found those keys and my brother stood me up yesterday so last night I finally remembered I had emergency road service so I called them.. I told them to get me an idea what it would cost to just have a locksmith come out to make a new lock/key. Well.. apparently this little rink a dink town only has one locksmith because they called my brother who had already told me he was too busy to do it for me. Of course he told them he couldn't get here until today and it would cost me $125 out of pocket.. they only pay up to 50 so his charge is 175 for emergency services which he couldnt do and $90 if he came out during the day. Well, they kept trying to find me a locksmith and finally called me back at midnight and said they found one that would charge me $200 but would not agree to accept their voucher so I would have to pay the entire fee up front.

Its not the money either because I would have gladly paid it Tuesday just to avoid all this hassle. Anyway.. John's taking me to work again today, that will cost me another $15 so totaling all the gas I've paid out I'm already down $40 and I've only made it to work 2 days.

At this point, if brother dearest don't make it today I'm seriously considering hot wiring it.

On top of that, my fridge went down last week and my washer went down this morning. Who broke the d@mn mirror and blamed it on me?

Do you have the title and vin number??  

Depending on the age of the car, hotwiring or changing the ignition won't work.

Raoul's idea is the best & cheapest route. Just take the title with you, go to a dealership for that make of car and ask them to make or order a key(s) based on the vin number.

If the car is not an early model chipped key and just a regular key the total cost should not be that high. But this is Christi and there will now be the beginning of the rest of the story that prevents a simple resolution to a relatively common and easily solved situation.

When I moved into my mom's old place, I shut down her fridge 'cause I brought my own unit. Still sitting there, out in the kitchen. You want the thing?

When I first unplugged it, I forgot to remove all the food inside. It spoiled. Didn't detect the odor right away, because I'm always burning strawberry incense ... a holdover tradition from my hippy days. Once the interior got ultra-ripe, I investigated. As if the rotten food wasn't enough, a few thousand gnats had somehow worked their way inside, where they all eventually expired.

As I don't have a dolly, and NEVER allow anyone through the front door {I'm very open online, extremely private in real-world affairs}, my only recourse was to wrap the fridge up in a couple hundred feet of aluminum foil. However, the unit is still in nice shape. All a person needs to do is -- cut the foil ... scrape out all that putrid food ... get rid of all those damn dead gnats -- and they'll have plenty of cold drinks in no time flat.

Interested? I could let you have it for just $100.

I've always felt that so-called "normalcy" is a highly overrated condition!

Even IF that malarky is anywhere near true, I assure you that the gases that have built up inside have already ruined the gasket and the fridge is now totally trashed. Proof that this is what takes place does exist, but for the life of me, I can't think of even one good reason to bother.

Rather than count it all as lost though Stardom, a resourceful guy like you oughta be able to fashion all that foil into a new ship to get back home in. Don't forget to take your shovel with ya though.

Ok... now you're just reading my mind, Raoul! (which also happened one other time on this thread.)

He's reading a short story now.. You know that I love ya, right?

Or a long penthouse letter.

leslie110 has a perfectly good clean working fridge in her garage that she wants to sell. if you want it, contact her. we could even negotiate delivery if you need it.

Star when i first started reading your post, I thought "cool, he's giving her a frig". THEN I read on, and found out that the frig is completely, ruined, contaminated, and should have been buried LONG ago! THEN I READ ON, and found that you wanted to SELL it to her? OMG dude. Just the thought of that makes me sick! Christi, if you need a frig, lemme know. I will find you one.

Are you suggesting my story is perhaps unlikely?

And I suppose you think my previously posted "A Torrid Tale Told With Smileys" is based on sheer imagination as well, eh?

A single question if I may, old chap ...

Do you take everything you read at face value?

You asked kev "Do you take everything at face value?"...If the story about the frig. isn't true and is just another "story", why would you post it? Thats just GROSS and what did it have to do with Hot Wiring a car?
Just wonderin'
