My 2008 had the remote top opening when I bought it, but the dealer couldn't find the option for both doors to unlock with one press.

Oh, and Lois... I have a nice picture for you of a nice motoring trip my son and I took to Wrigley Field on Saturday. We watched from a right field rooftop the clinching game against the hated Redbirds.

Would have been cool, but then I would have had to go out to close it up. Too many creepy people walking around, like this guy (bonus points to anyone who can tell who this "famous" Cub fan is pictured with my son):

Kinda like putting toothpicks in your pocket and accidentally building a log cabin.
Phenomenal simile. Just phenomenal.
