The VATS (Vehicle Anti Theft System) uses a resistor in the base of the key

to complete a circuit. Wrong resistor value - no start. Turn off the

ignition, wait for a minimum of five minutes without turning on ignition and

then see if the VATS reset itself. Common problems - it`s raining and you

get water on the key as you`re unlocking the door. The resistance is wrong

and it sets the VATS. After years of use, the contacts wear enough that the

contacts on the key are intermittent to the contacts within the lock. It

sets the VATS. It`s a pain in the tookis. A new key costs anywhere from

$22 - $30. I think it may have something to do with whether the guy making

the key thinks you need it REALLY bad and REALLY soon.

The key ignition itself is all mechanical and just operates

another mechanism.

There are no contacts to be made within that particular key

ignition.

Sounds like your problem was beyond the key ignition.

It is possable that the key ignition itself may have

malfunctioned and it was not letting the plug travel to all

nessessary positions.

A bad key wouldn`t cause that to happen.

anyway,

Thanks for all your help Charlie

Title: Cars: The Rookie TPB
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2009 01:57:42 +0000
Author: v1kthor

CVR CRS TP VOL 1

Escrito por Alan J. Porter, Arte por Albert Carreres, Colores por Emily Kanalz (Issues 1-3) & Flavio B. Silva (Issue #4), Publicado por Boom! Kids.

No solamente estamos viendo en la actualidad las adoptaciones de historias salidas de los comics a la pantalla grande. El proceso inverso es cada día más común. Sin embargo, no son adaptaciones, son historias propias que cubren “huecos” entre las diversas secuelas de peliculas (o incluso de videojuegos) o sirviendo como prologos a las historias del cine.

Y precisamente, en el último caso se encuentra Cars: The Rookie TPB. Inspirado en los personajes de la pelicula de Pixar. Boom! Kids nos brinda esta historia que nos narra el origen de Lightning McQueen y cómo llegó a ser la sensación de la Piston Cup.

La historia es presentada en el modo de flashbacks cuando Lightning McQueen es entrevistado por Darell Cartrip del programa Rev Limits. Nos enteramos que Lightning McQueen al principio fue conocido como Bulldozer McQueen cuando competía en las carreras locales. Al demostrar lo veloz que es, va adquiriendo fama, hasta que comete un garrafal error y todo se va a la basura. En esos desastrozos momentos es cuando conoce a Mack. Aunque Mack y Bulldozer McQueen se unen para llegar a las “grandes ligas”, McQueen engaña a Mack ya que él realmente tiene otros planes.Aunque Mack descubre la traición de McQueen lo perdona y vuelven a formar pareja. Sin embargo, un retiro inesperado hace que tenga la oportunidad de participar con los Rusty Cars. Aunque al principio, el ego de McQueen hace que tenga problemas, logra sorprender a todos y empieza a alcanzar los primeros lugares. Es cuando su peor enemigo The King le da el mote de “Lightning” McQueen, debido a que cuando compite, su viraje y sus rebases tiene la forma de un rayo. El final ya lo conocemos (gana la Piston Cup).

El guión de Alan J. Porter es simple y de diálogos e historia no complejos. Considerando que esta historia está dedicado a los niños y sirve como un primer contacto con los cómics y empezar a cautivarlos en este mundo gráfico. La lectura (además) se ve reforzada por la aparición de diversos personajes de la pelicula y el origen de Lightning McQueen va de acuerdo al personaje, aunque en cierta manera es predecible.

El arte de Albert Carreres destaca de sobremanera. Sus trazos son caricaturescos, simple pero con grandes momentos. Sobre todo, es digno de aplaudir las escenas de las carreras, donde te atrapa y te mantiene pegado al cómic.
