Re: [DMCForum] Dude, where's my key? Was: What was I thinking?

["Jim Strickland" <ihaveanaccount@xxxxxxxx>]

I don't see how a new key will help that much...

If you have the 1 key system, you'll at least get a door key, but unless
you cut the same key in half, you won't have the ignition key.

Wouldn't it be funny to "convert" your car to a 2 key system?  1 key to
open the door, and the same key cut in half for the ignition?  Hmmm.
Getting inside that ignition is probably really going to be a pain huh.
