Please help! i wanna join the fad of fancy rims but i dont!!!?

I can't stand keys. I think it covered several years by different manufacturers because in 65 there were some cars with one key and others with more than 1(not necessarily just 2 either). I almost bought a 59 Mercedes that had four keys. 1 for the doors, 1 for the ignition, 1 for the glove compartment and 1 for the trunk. (the trunk may have been an add-on due to someone popped the trunk and the lock had to be replaced) The car did not have a gas cap lock so that would have ment 5 keys if you worry about protecting your gas.

What's your take on the new Dodge Avenger '08?

I think the imports started doing 1 key in the early 80's, it took American cars a little longer, maybe early 90's.
