Battery should be good, replaced last winter, early spring. Started just fine last couple days w/ subzero temps.
Got in it wed night, key would not go in all the way, was able to force it in, started and has started since, just can't get key to come out (release). But thank you for the reminder about the manual release
I recall something about that, but did not have the time to search the forum. Will check release tomorrow. This is why I love this site, random stuff stuck in the back of someone's mind, and they come across a thread, and wah la, I know a solution to that problem. Thanks Sparky. Still going to take it in and have it checked out since it's still under warranty.

was messing around w/ it yesterday, was able to get the key out, just pulled really hard.
was afraid to do earlier as i did not want to get stuck somewhere.
turns out that the key had gotten bent some how.
was able to manually bend it somewhat straight, and that fixed the problem.
so i took the key to my bench vise and clamped it down to get it as straight as i could.

And this one is with my old europeen license plate barcket with old number.
Before 2010 if you by a car the license plate number change and the last number "77" in the picture is coresponding to the state region.
After 2009 exactly if you by a new car or and old one, the nuber is "aa-111-aa" for is life and didnt change.

In this day and age plates seem so antiquated. Small bar codes or even my EZpass transmitter should be sufficient for officials to extract information. I mean the wide variance of plate numbers/letters, sizes, colors, placement and do we need a front back plate leads me to believe that the DMV doesn't know WTF it's doing....trailblazer075 said:

Most states are already using license plate recognition software and collection devices. They can collect data at speeds up to 130 mph and the database reads out instantly all the pertinent data on the plate. No need for human eyes anymore.

Local radio morning show had the state patrol spokeman on 30 mins ago and they spoke of this. Also reminded us that Back to the Future II had barcodes in 2015...
Michigan doesn't have a front plate. Anyone there know why?

No it s not possible!
Just with the french plates on open road.
I put other plates only for the show cars in france.
In France there is a great deal of false plates on stolen cars and thus I use US plates to avoid seeing my french plates usurped

Well in NY the plates are supposedly made by inmates of the State Pen. so I guess they want to keep them twice as busy

In France there are also two plates, it is mainly to be about being flashed by automatic radards measurement speed.

My buddy had a mouse nest by the #1 coil when he bought his Voy.. Took him a few months to actually clean the "dirt" under there. Then I thought of this when Northcreek said to check the box.

MD has the requirement, I ran without one for years. I have also heard that they may change the law on it.
On another note I am in one of the few counties in MD that does not require emissions :wootwoot:. I have heard rumors about the local naval base being the reason, as well as some farm rules from who knows when. Whatever the reason I love it.

I helped defeat the VET in Kentucky. My argument was the winning argument that turned the tide against the test; "We are creating more air pollution and consuming more natural resources by requiring EVERY vehicle in the commonwealth to travel to a VET station, run for the mandated 15+ minutes, and test than we are taking out of commission polluting vehicles because over 98% of all tested vehicles pass the test every year."
That is the case in virtually every state that tests, which leaves but two reasons for actually testing; to make an emotional appeal, i.e., "we are doing all we can..." or to collect revenue or give kick-backs from the testing fees.
This is a winning political argument if the PEOPLE who vote in any given state will make it!

That is a compelling argument and most places with common sense may listen. However keep in mind MD is Great Communist republic of the east coast (not seriously) and we have some of the most f-ed up taxes. We have a tax on rain Sq ft that is not permeable ground, ie. Driveways, roofs, decks/patios etc. Luckily it applies to all but like 6 or 7 counties and we are in one of them.

....what? So, if you build a house that's more like a tower (increasing vertical dimension to minimize horizontal dimension) you could save on taxes?
I don't get the decks, maybe I'm not thinking right because I'm thinking like an elevated wooden platform with nothing under it, you can't tell me the rain doesn't slip between the planks.
