Says the stranger next to me.

In my passenger seat.

Who had just opened the door and sat down.

It could be worse.

Stranger sits down.
"Yes, this is the right car."

Stranger sites down.

"I need your clothes, your boots and your car."

Aren't I supposed to reply "**** you, asshole" to that?

Otherwise, he'll won't have anything to say to the landlord.

I did that once. Weirder still is I unlocked it. With my key. Got in and noticed a plant.

Apparently 89 Honda Accords don't have that many differences in terms of locks

Added wrinkle:

This person was either supposed to buy or sell drugs inside the car he was supposed to be at. I was a little to stunned to figure out which exactly.

You should have asked for a discount.

I have gotten as far as trying to unlock it, getting annoyed my key didn't work, and then noticing that my car was one car over. Same color subaru and all.

One of the scenarios which passed through my head was he might go "what the ****, why not?" and try a cold call.

WTF, that happened when I accidentally grabbed my mom's Legacy GT's keys and unlocked my Accord with it.

Consequently since then my car has been broken into :-/

Keys were surprisingly interchangeable in the 80s. I once unlocked a car with a screwdriver after seeing it in a movie once.

Did you get a good score?

Freshman year of college I was waiting to give a ride to someone I hadn't met yet. Two girls hopped in the back, and as soon as I turned around, they realized they were in the wrong car and got out. Turns out we were headed to the same place, made for a good story. I ended up dating one of them for a year and I'm still friends with the other.

bummer

Shaddim · Dec 1, 2012, 09:14 AM

argh, hamster

Spheric Harlot · Dec 1, 2012, 09:24 AM

Didn't you read? Neither bummer nor hamster. Nothing.

Doc HM · Dec 2, 2012, 07:29 AM

I got into my car once after party. Started it up, looked out the front windscreen and saw my car parked directly in front. Embarrassing much. 80's Ford keys are really only a single original key duplicated a million times.

Wasn't it half a tennis ball on certain cars from that era as well? BMWs springs to mind.

ort888 · Dec 10, 2012, 08:53 AM

I used to be able to start my old 1986 Toyota Camry with any object you could stick in the keyhole. Other car keys, a nail file, anything that would fit.

We used to be able to steal my buddy's 1980-something Jeep CJ just by turning the tumbler, no keys needed.

My friend had a Jeep that was the same way, but his clutch was so stiff they'd never get more than a couple of blocks away and left leg fatigue would set in.
