+1..cheap smokes and fireworks too!!!Yeh, I remember when Georgia used to have cheap fuel for years, now it's South Carolina I've noticed is always the cheapest...
Washed it again. It was dusty from sitting for 2 days
just remembered how much i $&@?#&# hate winter! First 20 degree day and the mfing locks froze..no matter how much i blow gun the hell out of the locks/handles/and lock mechanism in the door jamb after getting wet or washing the car..they still freeze and i can't turn the damn lock with my key! I use that graphite lube in the key hole and turn the locks back and forth numerous times and they still freeze!!!! I give up, i'm just gonna start taking eveything of value out of my car and leaving the damn thing unlocked on cold nights..this sh*t is rediculous.

That's low. $3.23 here for 93 and last week, it was $3.39 I got some then with the thought that it would be going up during Christmas.

I feel your pain. Mine are def worse than they were last year. Drivers side actuator makes a god awful noise but works just enough to unlock it if unlocked a couple times.. The keyholes aren't working on either door..
The ice from last night is screwing everything up.
Would windshiels de-icer liquid, the same stuff that goes in the windshield washer bottle not work? As the key is put into the lock, pour a little in the hole and some down in between the window and lock area...
If you know rain is coming, maybe use some good shipping tape and tape a small portion of plastic to the glass to cover the whole lock area. That way, it can't get wet with something that will freeze. Just a couple of ideas.
Yeah from now on when I wash it I'm just going to use packing tape over the whole door handle..hopefully it'll seal water out.
Guy I sold my Silver '98 to called me to tell me the car wouldn't start and the Alarm light was on? I had him arm and disarm it, then unlock it with the key from outside.
Turns out it did what had happened to me once on the car. He turned the headlights off and the car started right up. Not like it was cranking slow or anything, it would not crank at all and the Security light would flash when he tried to start it?
My '96 did this exact same thing to me too.
Anyone else ever have this problem?

There's quite a few 98s that won't start with headlights on, mines like that
yeah i have read about this issue a lot.
is it to protect the ballasts from a voltage drop while cranking?
