I always like to keep a spare key in my wallet in case I lock the keys in the car. I didn't want to use the spare original because it is too big. So last night I was at WalMart and figured I would get one made since I hadn't done that yet. Well, the key got stuck in the key machine for some reason and the guy couldn't get it out no matter how he tried. He gave up on fingers and moved on to vise grips (eek) which resulted in the key getting first scuffed and then broken. For the grand finale, he went and got a crow bar and literally busted the whole key machine open to get the key out!! (ugh)
So, now I have to go to Mazda, get a replacement key, go back to WalMart, show them my receipt from Mazda and hopefully get reimbursed without much more hassle.
Oh, and the best part? The key they made me didn't work!! LOL! So if it wasn't for the key fob and push button technology I would have had to call my girlfriend to bring me my other set of keys.
