An Interesting Discovery???

nail clipper

Actually I was practicing some lock picking one day, and found out that all you need to open a festiva door is the file on a pair of nail clippers. just insert and wiggle. Good to know it worked on all 3 ive tried.

Last night I jammed a key from another Festiva into my ignition. It kind of worked, but then it got stuck and wouldn't come out...

Took brute force to remove the damn thing from my ingition....

In the car that I tried it in the other night, it did not come out as easily as it went in, but I didn't really have to force it. Could just kinda tell it was a tighter fit than mine.

This sucker was STUCK.

I mean, it wouldn't even go back to the off position and was really stiff to turn.

The key went in OK, but coming out was another matter altogether....

yeah, that was fun huh? I figured you had a permanent key until it went back to off and wouldnt budge.. then I knew we had to break out the big wire dikes!!

anything that would fit in the slot of my first festiva would unlock it and start it. anything from a knife to a craftsman tool box key.

agreed

One day at University´s parking lot I locked myself out (happens often) with the engine still running.

Spectators gathered as I tried little cent coins, a women´s hair clip, a wooden Ice-stick and finally and successfully a beer bottle cap (bent to fit the lock) .

great laughter followed by applause.

I got used to ask others for their car keys to open my car up.

Another woman thought that she actually helped me doing a criminal act and got pathetic

I could go on for hours with stories like these.

Mazda locks from that year are total waste.

One of my friends broke the key off in her ignition a long time ago, and uses a penny to start the car.
