Locked my self out

While working on my speakers Thought i'd still be able to get in my car from the outside button since my keys were inside and locked my self out with that being my only key and not had a chance to make a valet copy.

Looked around my garage metal junk and got a long piece of 18 gauge or so sheet steel, wrapped it in tape.
Took me 2 minutes to hit the unlock button

did an oil change, my god is this thing drinking oil. only got out about 2.75 quarts of oil after 3000 miles. and that's with throwing in a quart at around 1500. also replaced the pcv valve to see if that would help, probably wont but its worth a try.

had the same problem on my G, try an oil catch can, it helped me a lot. lost less than a quart in 3k compared to having to add a qt every month or so

I was going to that as well. I found oil in cylinder 1, and alot too. But it hasnt been giving me any misfire or issues. I was going to change the valve covers but i figured since there is over 140,000 miles on the car, it really isnt worth doing that kind of work. maybe im wrong

Valve cover gakets and camshaft position sensors are designed to fail.

odd. maybe I dont remember the blue backlighting, but my buddy has an 07 coupe and it has an analog clock in the middle, not digital. I didnt know we had a digital option. I wonder if I can slap that in my 04, the analog one looks so cheap.
