Yeah, but what do you do when you've locked they keys in the trunk *after*

you've locked the center console cuz you were gonna leave it on display with

the top down...  I had to Hurt her to get my keys back & suffer public teasing

at the banquet in front of over 300 people & live it down for a l.o.n.g time &

buy another console lock 8-((
