Yes, I'm an ex-smoker and as such get on my anti-smoking soapbox sometimes.
Don't get everything all bunched up.
I actually missed the advice to buy and inspection mirror which i can afford whether or not i smoke a couple of cigarettes a day.
Thanks.
I've been dealing with a toxic whacko thread over on another forum so i probably overreacted.
Congrats on quitting.
I'm almost there.

Keep it up. I can give you a hundred reasons why you should quit, and a lot of ways to help you quit, but you must want to before it will happen.

Good luck with that, and with digging out the opener. If the opener fell in, it should be able to be pulled out, rather than taking anything apart to get to it.

I dreamt about smoking for almost 15 years after I stopped. Weird.

Default OCV Problem

Bad !!!!! mistake buying a Subaru after owning Toyotas for many years.
New 2014 XV Crosstrek CEL ON, needs Oil Control Valve. Means disassembly of Engine. Wont cost me, under warrantee but obviously a piece of junk car that I will be paying for the next 5 years.

Not to mention the car will be in the shop for two weeks.

You obviously have the personality of a pet rock.
As if it is any of your business if this person smokes or not if this person smoked 2 packs a day they would most likely have that ash tray.
I hate when someone is looking for advice for something and someone goes off on some totally of in another direction.
This is the automotive section not the political or self help or what ever your going for.

If the remote has a metal clip like mine does you may be able to fish it out with one of these.

Dudes ... the original post is 3 years old in all likelihood the problem has been solved or the car's been sold.
