So if you all remember, I ordered a new key cut for one of my cars and though the vin matches, the key does not. Next step: pay for a blank key and get it cut. I called the dealer (1 hr away) to make sure they had a blank. They did. I then called the locksmith the dealer suggested to be sure they had the correct machine and would could cut the new key using the original one from my car. They let me know how easy it would be so on the road I go. I thought it would help at home to take my 2 year old with me, too. 6 hours later I'm home, hungry, about 70 dollars poorer with out a key. The locksmith claimed his "vices were a bit worn out". One side of the new key was good, they other was mangled completely. He kept trying it on the car, though, jamming the thing in the door lock and trying to turn it. It was crazy. He claims the "boss" will call me tomorrow and get me a new key but I'll believe it when I see it. Somethings just aren't meant to happen it seems. I'm thinking I should just find a new wagon. It would probably be easier and cheaper in the long run. With the cross-country X-mas trip this next week, I'm getting one of the those retractable key chains to lock the only key I have to my hip.
