[Shotimes] Re: original key

[Steve Tatro]

This is no joke.  I actually discovered during a very embarassing
problem with my SHO.  I went out to my car one morning, and when I
turned the key, I got nothing.  No turning over at all.  Everything lit
up, it wasn't a battery problem, so I (having absolutely no mechanical
knowledge at that point) had the car towed to a trusty mechanic.  They
had the car for two days, and finally called me up saying "you won't
believe what the problem was".  I was floored.

Luckily I took my car to this mechanic quite often, and since they knew
me well and wanted to keep my business, didn't charge me a penny!

I had apparently knocked this "thingy" loose by hitting it with my knee,
as I hadn't been screwing around in that area that I could remember.

This is a joke, right?

Just like the time I found my back seat was lined with flux capacitors
and gold doubloons.

I can't tell you.  That's why it's called a SECRET!

Seriously, there's a little removable piece, under the steering column
(and a tad to the right).  It has a male connector, is inserted into
(obviously) a female receptor (is that even a word?) and unless all the
pins make contact the ignition is disabled.  Also, this piece has a
single button on it that activates the built-in mini-flashlight (useless
from what I can tell).  The whole thing appears to want to be attached
to a keyring, for some reason.

I'm guessing it's an ATX-only thing, but I can't be sure.
