Hm, maybe. I don’t recall my key having that resistor though in the middle of the key like I remember GM doing for a long time. The car is long gone now though, even if I still miss it’s basic and otherwise reliable service.
I should have clarified - it would not *crank*, it was not an ignition issue, it would simply not crank, and behave as if the neutral safety switch was not engaged. Cold (first thing in the morning) or hot (starting after a run to the store) didn’t seem to be a variable. Swapping the switch did not change the…

If I’m looking for a sweeter cocktail I’ve been trending towards using a wheated like Larceny. Perhaps why we’ve had fun with cocktails over quarantine,…
I’m curious if the goal being a peanut butter infusion, would powdered peanut butter (PB2, etc) would be more effective/better tasting for vodka?
I personally prefer a rye versus bourbon/whiskey, adds a nice spiced component!
That would be the fluoride.
This brings in the question, if it’s more important to diversify your brand of evil or just do a little evil in larger quantities...

This has been pretty common with companies and utilities that buy the Mercedes version of the Sprinter for a while.
Taking a tour of a company three years ago that built robotic inspection equipment for public utilities, they had a box full of Mercedes emblems at one station. They explained exactly that - their…
Still need a replacement for the Chromecast Audio, or any Chromecast device with an audio output for existing stereos, sound systems, etc.
