No telling what everyone's grumpy about, but there's a lot of it going around. I was really sad to see Jamesp quit the forum a couple months back. He had always been very generous and helpful with me. Maybe we should all tune out the cable news and Twitter for a month or two. Go for a drive or plan a trip for when your car comes out of storage.

Best advice ever... I guess I don't need a new ignition switch this time! I just don't have frunk/trunk access anymore.
