The car is stuck at work. It locked up on Thursday as I was leaving work. I have blisters trying to get it started. Cold not get a rental car in time on Friday to get to work.

Between the battery and now this key switch I lost two full work days. I am sure my boss is pissed at me.

It just really kills me to think that a 2 cent pin that should have been made of hardened steel caused all this. If there was ever a reason for a part recall, I am sure this should be one.

Anyway, got part on order. I have to somehow go to work this weekend in rental car and get my car to start. I guess I can just drill down the pin and start it so I can move it home to work on it.

A 2 cent pin that failed cost me well over 1K if you look at lost time at work, rental car, replacement part, etc.

Luckily I still love my car.
