Now that's what I call PMA! Altho technically speaking it could be called a 'beach' (since I do detect a trace of sand, and a bit o'water), those two key ingredients seem to be missing.

Try to find one wave, or one blonde.

If you don't care about the lexus logo on the blank, then go to toylex.com. All you need for them to cut your key is the code from the little metal key tag that is probably in your glove compartment. Should be a 4 or 5 digit code. Prices are pretty decent and it took about 4 days turnaround time to get the new ones.

Pikers! Now this is a crowd. Two things missing in this picture tho. Can anyone guess what they are?

MP. Did Pat fix you up or point you in the right direction? Please post any answers so that we all may learn.

By the way, this thread reminded me to run adaware, and spybot. Haven't run em for a month or more. Adaware (lavasoft) found 1 item. It was the alexa 'phone home' cookie from uncle bill. That's it. Nothing else from either program. I run NO antivirus. What did I say about I.E security settings? Oh, also disable windows media player (go into settings and disable everything- yes everything- but you will still have use of the codecs), and install media player classic, and 'orbit' DLM so you can still download those naughty youtube videos.... Just do it. (nike)

So how should I set up IE "internet options" under the Advanced tab? Thank you. tools->options->security->custom->scroll down and disable everything except popup blocker and downloads, disable user data persistance, enable anon login. Default M$ settings are not your friend. Some content will be blocked on certain sites. That is a good sign. Also, do NOT use windows messenger. Full of vulnerable code. All of this is for XP SP2. Go to adv. settings and untick: allow animations, allow sounds, active content, anything 'active', install on demand, check for updates, 3rd party extensions, allow software to run/ install if signiture is invalid, search from address bar. tick: empty ie files, do not save encrypted pages, use ssl2.0 and 3.0, transistions. That should get you started, and it's late and I have missed a few I'm sure, but you get the idea. M$ default settings are NOT what you want. You will be suprised what you can do with all of the 'lowered' settings. Your main culpriit is anything 'Active'. Allowing those settings will open you up to all manor of bugs, viruses, trojans, worms, etc. It's vulnerable code. You don't need the active content anyway, and the sites which require it are just the ones you want to stay away from. Download and install: quickset internet. It is a small app that gives one click access to security settings once you are inside a trusted site. Then you can lower settings, then change back easily. Also look for a little app called windowcide. Excellent program. Type symantic virus scan into google. They will scan you over the net free, and check up on your trojans for you. Good free service. Well, used to be anyway. Try it. Do the reg clean thing as well. I'm done.

Giant fuzzy dice. ;) Actually, an oem MP3 player with sd or mm card slot so you just slip your card in would be nice. Or a plug for my player .

2001 1am Returning home. Cruising at 65 on a 4 lane divided highway. Without warning-BAM! Just like you J, except mine was a multipoint buck. Saw him for maybe 1/16 of a second before the airbag deployed. Sonofabyotch! is all you can say. Later, I fgured he was running full tilt- probably 30+ mph-straight into an oncoming car! Anyway, pulled over, and got out, mostly to let the airbag dust clear out of the car, looked at the hood. Crumpled up at a 45* angle. It is now 1.5 feet higher than it should be. Hard to see over. I'm 25 miles from home, in the middle of nowhere. Dark night, and think: sh*t, this car is totaled, probably leaking coolant. And yep, there's a spot forming on the ground. Shi%! What can I do? Not a thing. Might as well get back in, and drive and watch the temp gauge, and see how far she'll get me. Got home, no prob. Drove like smooth silk all the way home, like nothing happened. Had it close to 60! $8,700 in damage. Thankfully ,insurance covered it. Hit a 300 lb buck at 65 in anything less than an ls400, and well....good luck and possibly, goodbye. It's like hitting a brick wall. Lexus did a good job restoring it, and it drove/ drives like nothing ever happened. Had I been driving a prius, or a 'Smart' car, I would be typing this from the grave. What a tank. The LS is an amazing automoblie.

I don't use anti virus software. Havn't had a virus or issue since 1998. Emails are accepted by everyone, no prob. Your problem is your security settings. It's like a wide open Dam in I.E. if you do not set them correctly. Get your hotfixes, then set your browser security sttings correctly, and forget the rest. It works for me. Plus.... surfing is a lot faster. No popups.

I'm banking on it being low freon, since I know that's occuring. The leaks have been sealed now, I believe. I'm just curious if that could be tripping the "Evaporator Temperature Sensor Circuit " code. Will test it this week. I'll try not to run it too much in this condition tho. Thanks.
