5th Annual Splitcoast event

 

This was a shoebox project.. so cute,, could be used 

for a "we're moving ' card?

Today, I had the Lovely Little Ms Molly!  Such a sweet heart.  We went shopping to Wegmans... she was so good.... then I realized what time it was and had to head home so daddy could pick her up.  We checked out, and went out to the car...

I hit the remote start and loaded Molly in the back seat and groceries in trunk.

Got in driver seat, and touched the brake so car shut off. 
I proceded to insert key into ignition and it wouldn't turn.

I started car again with remote,

key still wouldn't turn. I did this a few times.. waited tried again, waited, tried again. thinking it had that disable program going on...this took a good 10-15 minutes.

finally, since nothing was working for me

I Called roadside assistance for toyota, but no one answered..except a robot voice that wanted my VIN number.. NOT.

so I called Nick  my son, to come get Molly.

Then I called AAA.... young lady answered.. and I told her my problem.

She said hang on while I ask someone.. (cause I didn't really need towing or anything).

She gets back to me in a minute,, and says, and I quote....

"Insert the key into ignition, and while turning the steering wheel to and fro, hit the key with something hard..about 10 times." my mind said 'HUH?  so I took off my sneaker and proceded with her instructions..while still on phone with her...

. and guess what..

The key turned, the car started,  the tumblers had gotten off balance and need a kick in the pants to straighten them out...

and here comes Nick.

I'm laughing....

the girl is laughing and says"you didn't believe me did you?" NOPE.. not a chance.."

I asked her if this counted as a call for roadside assistance, and she said NO... 

so... Nick took Molly I went home with the groceries and will remember this little trick next time

my car or some one else's car feels like getting

its panties in a twist....

Have a good day!
