[QUOTE="Hookman, post: 3834424, member: 99642"]My first car was a 1967 Pontiac GTO and when the seller gave me the ignition key, it was in the shape of Pegasus. It seems that back then Mobil would make you a key, with their logo, with a fill up. I was proud of that key and had it only a short while, until one time, a friend and I went to a concert in Houston. We got out and headed for the building, then realized we had forgotten something under the seat. Since it was under his seat, I gave him the key and I waited and watched as he went back about a hundred feet to the car. After a moment he hollered my name and I walked back to him. It seems he put the key in upside down, and, thinking it was just stiff, he tried to force it to turn and of course he snapped the key off in the door lock. Well, we went on to the concert, without what was under the seat, and after the show, I called a locksmith to come out and open my door and make me a key. I think that was one of the most expensive concerts I've ever been to. I kept the top half of that key for many, many years and as far as I know, I still might have it in a junk box somewhere. I loved that car. I bought it from the original owner in July of 1972 for only $950.00. It was so fast and powerful, I almost killed myself in it so many times. I have a thousand stories involving that car. You have just read one of them from....The Naked City.[/QUOTE]
