Crazy thing happened to me tonite...

So i get in to start my killer ride and go pick up chicks.

I put the keys in the ignition, these two HOT babes come up and ask for a ride. I go to turn the key... its locked.

I try moving the wheel and turning (to unlock)... the wheel moves all the way left and right still no unlock. So i have to send the babes away and get my friend to come help me out. We eventually muscle the key to turn the engine on.

WEIRD!!!!

Ever had this happen????

I had my ignition freeze up on me to the point that I broke a key off in it on accident trying to get home. I went and had some keys made from my spare and sprayed some lube in there (key and lock lube that my uncle had), never had the problem since .

How hot were they? I would've hacked that ignition into peices with the trusty screwdriver and vice grip. BTW, how were you going to fit them in your two seater?

You got it down innitab!!! LOL

You guys rule!

It sucks because as soon as my car started, my friend called me, **** faced drunk, and made me come over to her house. She did this so this gay guy could hit on me all night and try to get me to go back to his place. Oh my god that sucked.

*I* think it wasnt starting so that it could avoid that situation, but we forced her to start.

Maybe i should listen next time!

the cylinder will lock up on mine sometimes, depending on how I have all the wiring in there positioned. Its pretty strange actually I don't know how or why it does that.

I had my 85, lock up like that and the key would turn all the way off, and the key WOULD NOT COME OUT, I eventually had to jerk the entire cylinder out, and drove like that , just turning a flat head screwdriver to start the car. When I did this big swapola , I rebuilt the steering box and got me a new key and cylinder.. Its funny Im still reaching for the flathead to start it LOL
