Hey gang,

Yeah, it happens and it sucks. on my buddy's IS300 he kept forcing his iginition until it broke.
My key went into the ignition roughly and wouldn't budge at all. was NOT the steering wheel lock.

Went back into the liquor store (I had just bought beer ) and asked the cute blonde (no way I was talking to the guy) if they have some WD40 as I have a car key problem.

2 small squirts in the ignition and VROOM! I have done this successfully with home and work locks.
Have a look at WDFC stock price, may be worth picking up a few shares (saved me from tow truck bill!!).

Returned the WD40 to Carmen, her number is 250.748.XXXX. lol

Hope this tips helps some one else down the road!!

Cheers,
Sprocket
