The Best Way to Break into a Festy...

[Icedawg]

^^^ at least nobody knew until you announced it just now :-P I usually use a coat hanger as a slim jim, just go in between the glass and weatherstripping and pop the lock up... I always break in on the passenger side, just in case I damage the lock mechanism or anything else inside the door, at least the drivers side will still be operable

Wow, so just how often do you lock knock yurself .. er lock yourself out?

Hatchback...the girl in your pics has abs of beauty. I find myself staring for a minute or two. Lucky man you appear to be...

"Strap the slim jim under the car"....love it!...

[Gforcefd]

since my doors are shaved, I seem to slim jim my car way to often. I actually did damage the door lever wire one time, and the darn door wouldn't latch till I got it back justttt righttt..

I've got 2 festy keys on my key ring, One of 'em for my daily driver, another for Partstiva...

I was thinking to myself "Boy I've been lucky, I always select the right key when I get in the car!" ... Turns out both keys will start the car

Luckily my car isn't nice.. Stefan could come down the street and drive my car away with his keys!!

That makes me want to mess with a local Festiva owner....lol....
move their car a few parking spaces and turn it around or someting.
(just enough to get them scratching their head )

^ Your hand fit in there? Or did you have the bend your door?

Well my hand fit after i pulled the door a bit. luckily shortly after the door went back to normal.

Either you have extremely thin hands or I am still lost.

Hmmm i would say my hands are average. I just pulled the door back abit.
Now i just keep the hatch unlocked... well most of the time anyways.

[sam.1956]

uhmmm.... I keep a spare key in my wallet. (Mainly because senility is setting in now.)
LOL!

[Futurefesty90]

i locked mine half shut (i tried to jerk the door back before it shut) and i used a quarter in the door lock. lol

[Stowchicky]

call the popo's theyll get it!

[shawnw]

The few times we've locked the keys in the car we've just unlocked it with a coin or rock in the drivers side door lock.
Back when the car lived in the city somebody had broken into the car and messed up the lock so as long as something turns it, the door locks or unlocks.
We've never bothered getting it fixed.

By the way, are Festivas supposed to have buzzers for the key being left in the ignition? We don't.

[festivaWES]

i can slim-jim it in a couple seconds...but who around here doesn't have multiple festiva keys?? I have a ring of 20 or so and only own three.

[FB71]

^^^ yes, they have a "key-in" warning built into the buzzer under the dash.

Turn your volume down this vid has some strange static noise.

[geezerstiva]

i unplugged mine. that thing's annoying when you're trying to listen to the radio in the summer with the door open! :lol:
