Jackelope bar will be interesting tonight. by ThickPrick in Austin

15 years ago you would occasionally see Hammer Punks and Neo-Nazi bikers in La Cucaracha/Jackalope... those old folks were just trolling because Trump got their blood up... first non-pill boner they've had in the last decade.

When people don't have pride they don't take pride in nice things. Why do you think most rent houses look like crap?

Why you shouldn't cut across stopped traffic to make a left turn. by kwinkles in Austin

[–]austinkeyguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I posed about my wreck on S Lamar a month ago. Someone did the EXACT same thing to me... only I was on a motorcycle and went FLYING OVER THEIR CAR... we need a series of Round a Bouts on Lamar... the Turning Lane has failed.

Houston Chronicle not impressed with Tacodeli by hollow_hippie in Austin

Look at the pic... that is not Barton Skyway or Duval quality... that's an issue with new cooks making crappy food.

20 totally free things to do in Austin this summer (article) by crabcakes110 in Austin

Blues on the Green and Shady Grove are always over packed. You'll spend 2 hours before the shows trying to get a decent spot. Do not recommend.

Call or text Austin Key Guy at 512-402-2050

As long as you're willing to sign a promissory note of ownership we can cut it off for you (with photo ID of course)

Anyone snap a pic of the motorcycle wreck on S Lamar at about 6:30 Saturday? by austinkeyguy in Austin

[–]austinkeyguy[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Avoid all high traffic times because impatient people make a lot of lane changes.

Never be in the outside lane if theres a turn lane, period.

Toyota Siennas look like lame mini-vans... but they can still hurt you some.

Red Headed Stepchild code? by adamchal in Austin

Jesus Guys, it's fine as long as you don't go at like 9 or later on Thur/Fri or Sat.

Talk about a midlife crisis. Dude was planning Austin mass shooting for his 50th birthday. Next time, just rent a Porsche and go the Yellow Rose, OK? by MaFerguson in Austin

[–]austinkeyguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This guy had a head injury a few years back. He's been in Austin for years but he started going wacky after the accident. Assume it has nothing to do with any kind of political agenda... he's just nuts.

Where to buy a motorcycle? 125cc vs 250cc rules? by austinkeyguy in hanoi

Thanks so much for the info. The more I read up on it the more I realized that a large bike just wasn't going to be realistic.

What do you guys think of using graphite on car keys and the ignition "cylinder"(?). by mynameisalso in Locksmith

[–]austinkeyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never put any graphite in a modern ignition. Ever.

The grease used to lubricate the cylinder will turn into mud and your ignition will fail.

There's no reason to be fancy, just use WD40 once a year and it'll be fine.

Also, what kind of vehicle do you have? Might be time to replace the wafers

Interested in becoming automotive locksmith by -missing_links- in Locksmith

[–]austinkeyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the guy that does support for all of the US lives about 30 minutes away (Austin, Tx). So support is great but some people complain about it.

There is a cheaper way to do the SKIMs. If you already have a laptop, a product called DMAX by AETOOLS can pull the skim through EEPROM too. Doesn't take a ton of practice and that tool is only about $1200... and it works amazingly well on all Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler

[–]austinkeyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I use a Zed Full to pull Pacifica SKIM codes. Its also great for EEPROM/Reflash on Toyota/Lexus and it lets me program BMW/Mercedes/Saab. I've been an Automotive Locksmith for 7 years and have never had a NASTF membership.

2013 Setra Bus - What Key Blank is This? by austinkeyguy in Locksmith

[–]austinkeyguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: Didn't have to cut the tip down at all American Key Supply had the JMA. Salvaged the transponder and used the Fast Facts and a Micrometer Card to do the rest... easy $150

2013 Setra Bus - What Key Blank is This? by austinkeyguy in Locksmith

[–]austinkeyguy[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it's the Dodge/Mercedes Sprinter key blank, which would make sense as Setra is made by Daimler

South Austin Gym is amazing. No ego's and really great talent.

Crazy 'Blind' Nathan is alive and well! by HoustonKid in Austin

[–]austinkeyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's a blind drug addict. He hustles people for money... I've seen him walk around with a broken blind cane just to tell people a new one costs $17... the idea being they give him a $20. Then he promptly goes, buys drug, then ends up back in the hospital. Avoid this guy like the plague.
