Winky 2.0
Yo. So heres what went down. This weekend I lost my keys and my cellphone on a ride at Magic Mountain. Its wack attack but in all honesty it could be worse. For one I got my keys back. I had already paid a locksmith to make me a duplicate but when he realized that I really had no need for his services he cut me a deal and took it off the records. So now I have two spare keys and I wont have to worry about being stuck if I somehow lose my keys again. For some weird reason after he worked on my car, by taking off one of my door panels to get to the key number (all they need is a number and than they can duplicate any key, its actually kind of cool!) my automatic door no longer works on the passanger side. The even weirder part is that the locksmith came out to my house in Sylmar to check and see what he did wrong but after taking off my door panel for a second time and checking everything out, all indications show that the auto lock should be working, everything is plugged in, and no electrical wiring was touched by the locksmith during either operation. Its just a weird fluke! I take it as a sign that my car is not the Batmobile, but is in fact Winky 2.0. Its no longer all new and spiffy, now I have to manually let people in to the shotgun, just like before, so now its officially Winky 2.0. At least this one doesnt have ignition issues! So ya, after 24 hours of madness it seems that Im only out a phone. No big deal. But it means that if you try to call (or if you did try to call on Saturday) that I wont be able to get back to you. I should be on Skype often though. My computer is not doing so well right now, but until it dies Im willing to play. Maybe even tonight? Perhaps some phone calls are in order, but it will have to be from my house phone. Wah wah wah wah. It seems Im for an upgrade in August so Ill most likely just wait and get a free phone rather than fork out dough now. You know whats kind of strange though?, I actually got my keys back from Magic Mountain after I had lost them on a roller coaster and I cant help but feel that me visualizing that return helped to enact the reality. The whistle is all beat up now, I think it fell like over 100 feet. Hehe. Oh and extra by the way, X2 is the shit! Just not worth 3 hours. Hope everyone is doing well. Peace

wow...he took off the car door and the automatic lock's not working but the wiring all seems in tact. I find it interesting that both doors were affected. I wonder where the signal receptor is located within the car's frame. If it's embedded in the drivers side, perhaps the mechanism itself was damaged....oh well, could be worse!
X2? Yeah, tried calling...crazy cell phone karma man. You're good with Skype though. which works out. I need to get more used to that thing!
whoa i go and take a shower and suddenly your post lost 2/3rds of its length. I take it you changed it because you're in a different place now than you were when you wrote the original. This version sounds more positive. We're prolly down to play tonight. Throw up skype and we'll talk in a bit.
ya, things changed after the guy came over and showed me that he wasnt directly responsible for the auto lock trip. its like my dad said, if it was sensitive enough to be effected by just the panel being taken off than it was probably about to die anyways. That makes sense to me. Regardless I realized that I had a lesson to learn through all of this. For me that is, take care of the little things. My carelessness cost me enough money as it is but like Lorigga said, it could be much worse, so Ill take my losses and in the future I'll try to be more careful with the little things.
