Good Morning.
Had a little issue with my wife's car. She called to say that she could turn the key. Thought it was the usual issue of the steering wheel. Went down and nope, the key would not move. Took my wife and the groceries home and went back to work leaving the car at the store. Did some checking online in the Focus site and it turns out the Ford key tumblers can jam. Crap. The fix looked easy enough to pull the tumbler but i needed to get the car home. One post said to try tapping the key in the ign lightly with a hammer. Went back after work, bingo, a little tap and was able to turn the key. Drove the car home.
Will order a new lock and take it to a locksmith to get it reset to the key. Will pull the lock set tonite and use a screwdriver for now.

Same here but we do have two in the family. Tamz sister owns a 99 Civic EX and her other sister owns an 05 Pilot.
btw...... I hope Miami smokes the Pats.
MIAMI FOREVER!!!!
oh yeah.... guess where I'm at..
Meh...they had chances to win the game. Did have fun watching though as my son and I went to Fat Jacks to watch the game while downing a pitcher of soda and eating some wings. We got several comments as he wore his Brady jersey and I my R. Williams. Good times!
He asked to go back this week to watch the Pats play the Colts.
It's finished Mark. I applied OEM VR paint for the exterior and painted the interior to match the MSM. Obviously it's not same body style but it's the only style Miata they make.
