[Shotimes] Re: original key

[Noack, Jason]

I, well not I, but the guy I sold my 93 SLO to did.  My 93 blew a head
gasket (surprise, surprise) and I had told him I had it for sale.  I told
him where I lived and he could go look at it if he wanted to.  So he went
and looked at it, $100 dollars later I gave him the keys and off he went
with a truck to pick it up.  Well I guess I forgot to tell him which
building it was and it just so happens in the building next to mine is the
exact same color and everything.  So he went to go take it and sure enough
the door key worked!!!  Well a few minutes later and 2 cops they find out
that they had the wrong car!!!  I laughed for days on that one.

Morale of the story....the first half of your door key works the door itself
and the last half is keyed for the ign cylinder.  Or the other way around.
And stupid ford made the trunk completely separate!!!  DOH!!!

There are only X number of combinations of keys for any given Model/Year.  X
is a fairly large number, but when you build several hundred thousand Tauri
a year, those combinations get reused alot.  Not that uncommon with any
brand.  Now a Taurus key won't work on a Mustang.  Each car line has a
different set of base keys.  IIRC all CV Police Cars are keyed alike, maybe
even over a series of years.  That way any officer can get into another car
with out that specific key.  Now if you have an former police car, your key
may work on a CV in your hometown force.  I wouldn't suggest stealing a
police car though.  Talk about some piss off people...

I can get into any gen1/2 Taurus/Sable in about 5 seconds. Keys! Ha!

FWIW, I think that some of my friends found that their keys work in
eachother's cars. Nice Ford, Nice.

Well even with 7 pins in the tumbler, there aren't that many
combinations out there. We should have a contest at the convention to
see who's key will open the most doors. That could get interesting!

I figure Kansas City is big enough that I have nothing to worry about. I
still say we have more SHOs per capita than any other city nation
wide...

dead 92 that you couldn't drive away even if you had a key cut

I believe you just provided the internet community with a way to get a
Ford dealership to cut a key for your car. Where is it located? I've
always wanted a free '91..... ;-)
