That is good idea mxyplx. Thanks. I have the feeling that these lock sets only come with one socket key though, and a dup would still have to be custom made. I will definately check to see if what you suggest can be done. I'm really not very knowledgeable on autos and am wondering if the lock sets are part of the wheel set and lock and keys are never sold separately though. Going to a machine shop to have one made would be too costly I am sure. Gary__, yes, the whole car was gone over with a fine tooth comb looking for a hidden key, when I was in the midst of the dilemma. Believe me. I also had called tire stores and custom shops and every one said they could not help me and that I had to locate the custom shop that put the wheels on. I live outside of a HUGE city and there are a ton of custom shops and I know of at least three who do not even list in the phone book or have a sign on the building, so I am sure there are lots of "underground" custom shops around that could have been the one that put the wheels on. It would be a needle in a haystack. You're right, I am sure I am not the only person who has gone through this so I am puzzled as to why they make it so difficult. I did a lot of checking and everyone said that there was NO WAY to get the wheels off without destoying the wheels and possibley causing damage to the auto. Supposedly the wheels I have are a very unusual type. By coincidence, the day of the flat tire, I saw that my neighbor had their son visiting, and he is a race car driver and does auto work. I went over and asked him and HE even told me the same thing and he would have no reason give me false info as it would not benefit him in the least to do so. I asked the dealership to contact the previous owner and they told me "No" but I am wondering if that is how they got the key they gave me?. I am also thinking that the missing key may be the reason the orig owner sold the car in the first place. The tire that went flat was always going low on me ever since I got it. Every time I check the air on the tires it was always down to about 20lbs. The good thing is the orig problem has been solved, but I am a cautious person and want an extra key. I am sure I am not the only person who has gone through this. I am relieved that the dealership took responsibility for the situtation and cannot imagine what the whole thing cost to resolve dollar-wise.

My vintage bedroom piece has been painted more colors than I can remember, although I know at one point it was next to my brothers crib and had circus animals peeking around corners and out of drawers - quite well done really, my mother. My brother is 57 years old ;) Kept in the foyer in my first tiny apartment, and held whatever it had to from gloves, extra tee shirts, to placemats, dishtowels. I think it was glazed red that year, something from a kit. It was in a guest room in our former house and house short on storage, it had an accumulation of craft and decorating, flower arranging items in the top two drawers, maps, binoculars, gloves, winter hats, an elk call (!)...things my husband kept below. It now has a cream antique finish and is in my office. Note pads, extra printer ink, folders, bulk envelopes, paperwork. Misc business things that I don't have in the file cabinets or shallow desk drawers. Bottom drawer has gardening magazines, seed envelopes, plant tags and my garden p-touch labeler. Could I get something more efficient and replace it? Yes, but it's been in whichever home I've lived in for about 60 years and is staying.

Here are a few ideas that we put together from various designs of ours. A bar seating area: A console or drink area: Built-in seating or built in storage: Or you could opt for a large piece of artwork with a console underneath:

Does this help? I know the table needs something different. Just trying to work on the console table area. If I move the table, what could go on the wall. PS- The picture on the table in this video was hung in the kitchen.
